MONTREAL — Abraham Botines will be the first to tell you he has no idea
if a bar of swastika-engraved soap he owns from the Nazi era is really
made of human remains.

But the owner of an eclectic curiosity shop in a trendy Montreal
neighbourhood makes no apologies about wanting to sell the item -- a
rarity that has caused a mini-storm in the Jewish community.

Botines, a Spanish-born Jew who has operated the quirky boutique since
1967, said Friday that no one in his family wants the soap or other
controversial war-era items.

So the feisty store owner has decided, given his advanced age and
weakening health, that it is time to sell the soap that he bought at top
dollar from a retired Canadian soldier.
