Apprentice contestant apologises for selling Nazi memorabilia - The Jewish Chronicle

A candidate in this year's series of BBC reality show The Apprentice has apologised after criticism for stocking Nazi memorabilia in his online antiques shop.

Gregory Ebbs, who describes himself as a "Food Lover" and "Military History Buff" was forced to apologise after he was found to be selling a Nazi-era dagger emblazoned with a swastika.

Both the Campaign Against Antisemitism and the Board of Deputies criticised the decision to sell the weapon with CAA saying that Ebbs was "facilitating the sale of artefacts synonymous with death to sick collectors."

The blade, which was sold for £725 earlier this month, is believed to date from before the war and belonged to a German army officer. It was listed for sale by a third party on Mr Ebbs' website.
