Can it get any worse?

The bottom-feeding hypermarket is cashing in on images from the Holocaust.

These are the gates to Dachau. Yours for $52.25.

Ideal gift for a supremacist friend.

UPDATE: A Twitter protest to Walmart from an outraged slippedisc.com reader drew this response:

    Although Walmart has since removed the item, complained to the third-party seller who in turn severed its ties with the publisher of the poster, I find it interesting that Walmart’s first response to protests was rather defensive. They claimed not to endorse any ideology related to the item but also said that they had it in their inventory as there were some customers “who like to buy this type of item”.
