A yellow star worn by a Jewish youth during the Holocaust sold at a Tel Aviv auction on Sunday for $240. Unexpectedly, the sale sparked debate Monday over the treatment of Holocaust-related memorabilia. 

Tel Aviv Chief Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau said in a radio interview that the star “should have been donated and not traded,” while Labor MK Ophir Paz-Pines called the sale “shameful and disgraceful,” and said such sales of such items should be condemned.

A spokesperson for Paz-Pines told the Jerusalem Post that he plans on submitting a bill to the Knesset that would prohibit the sale of items related to the Holocaust and owned by living survivors or inherited by their descendants.
