WASHINGTON: Amazon has stopped sales of some books on its platform following protests that the titles, including some for children, were Nazi-era “propaganda,” a source familiar with the matter said Tuesday.

The Auschwitz Memorial tweeted Friday on its official account the books included “hateful, virulently antisemitic Nazi propaganda.” Amazon declined to comment on specific items but said it does take action against some materials which may be offensive. “We take concerns seriously and are listening to feedback. Amazon has policies governing which books can be listed for sale; we invest significant time and resources to ensure our guidelines are followed and remove products that do not.”
