Here are some of my more controversial stamps. I would like to see some of what other members have.





This stamp refers to Majdanek Extermination Camp, which claimed 1.4 million victims. This stamp was issued in 1946 and shows "Death in Nazi uniform" emptying Cyclon B gas crystals, over the camp, from the container.








Serbia, which was created as a German puppet state, even went as far as staging an anti-masonic exhibition in 1941 and issuing a set of stamps there for.

A semi-postal, no less, but I see it's from Poland and not Germany.

I'm not sure what year this is from but it's a disturbing stamp.

I don't believe this is a stamp, but a label. It gives no denomination and a quick scan of the catalog doesn't show it.

Additionally, I don't think it is from Lithuania because it is in English. There could possibly have been more than one showing genocide in other countries, and it's possibly anti-communist in origin.

P.S. I don't guess I have anything universally controversial. I have a lot of Nazi based material, but it's so common as to be considered normal.

I would like to see it if you don't mind. I like to see what other collectors have.

Bryan, I've got two packages of new stuff I haven't even had time to open. Maybe over the weekend since Friday is a holiday.
