– A set of cue cards bearing the phrase “Jewish problem” for a 1939 speech by Adolf Hitler sold for $34,000 at an auction in Munich yesterday, but the manager of the auctioneers said the items would not end up in the hands of neo-Nazis, Reuters reports. “Almost none of the buyers are right-wing extremist neo-Nazis because they don’t need that stuff. They are happy with copies, cheap copies,” he said. “No one would spend that kind of money to create a private altar with Hitler memorabilia.”
