Surgery kit said to be Nazi's withdrawn from sale (AP)

LONDON ? A surgical kit advertised as belonging to a Nazi concentration camp commandant has been withdrawn from sale.

Grace Cloke, a spokeswoman at Villa Hall Auctions, said Thursday it was withdrawn "on the recommendation of police" after the auction house received "nasty" phone calls.

The auctioneer said the box contains blades, scissors, a saw and straps apparently used for tourniquets ? and is printed with the name Anton Burger.

The auctioneer had identified it as belonging to Anton Burger, an SS commander of the Theresienstadt camp. However, the German newspaper Die Welt has questioned that, reporting it was manufactured by the Anton Buerger company in Dresden.

Cloke says she was unaware of the report, and didn't know who connected the box with the commander.
