The name 'Rolexgate' for this piece of 'art' depicting the entrance to Auschwitz couldn't be more fitting. The stories of the holocau$t and Auschwitz have put many a Rolex on the wrists of Jewish profiteers in the industry of history/guilt modification and extortion.

Jewish/Danish/Chilean artist Marco Evaristti is also looking for a pay day. He'll probably want to sell his 'art' to a well heeled collector or holocaust museum and continue the tradition of making money in the 'Shoah business.'
Part of Evaristti's story as in the Copenhagen Post ...
A proportion of the model’s materials come from gold teeth fillings of the camp’s prisoners, which included Evaristti’s own grandmother. It also includes a train car made of diamonds, while a Rolex watch showing the time a five minutes to 12 adorning the model’s entrance.
The exhibit was first displayed in late October at a gallery in Berlin, where it created such a furore that it was removed after just a few hours.
Evaristti said the exhibit wasn’t just a reminder of the death associated with the Holocaust, but also of the looting the Nazis conducted. He said he bought the teeth from an Austrian man a couple of years ago.
‘I had to appear to him to be a Nazi myself,’ said the artist. ‘I disguised myself and cut my hair very short.’
'I’m just glad I was able to buy those gold teeth myself, rather than them ending up in the hands of Nazis.’ {more}

In a TV program January 13 Evaristti explained that he had been invited to do the project by the Mosaisk Trosssamfund, the major Jewish organization in Denmark.Hmm, the jewish tradition of extracting the gold from the teeth of their dead family members never occurred to me. I've missed out on saving some 'art' materials in the past. I'll have to remember that for any future pre-funeral arraignments.
The Auschwitz entrance also contains teeth from Evaristti's grandmother. She survived the extermination camp, so Evaristi has according to himself, not bought, but inherited them. {more}
