Ghetto souvenirs
As tourism to Jewish heritage sites in Poland increases, souvenirs have become increasingly available. Many of these are rather stereotyped images of pre-war Polish Jews playing violins and suchlike, but some refer specifically to the Holocaust.

Badges and fridge magnets like this are sold at Heroes of the Ghetto Square, the Okopowa Street cemetery and other locations. Many may consider them to be in very poor taste. An interesting point about the example above is that it is clearly intended for Western tourists, who would think of the yellow star as being the defining symbol of the Holocaust. Most Jews in Warsaw, of course, actually wore white and blue brassards.
