声音简介
A watch that belonged to Adolf Hitler was sold at a Maryland auction house for $1.1 million — well below the $2 million to $4 million price range, the auctioneers had projected.
The auctions were criticized last Thursday in an open letter signed by 34 Jewish leaders, who accused the auction house of "abhorrent" transactions that were overriding the "memory, suffering and pain of others" for financial gain.
