The vendor violates moral rights on all the items it offers for sale.

In particular, though, it happens to be useful that along the line they're
selling Walt Disney's portrait with Mickey Mouse.

They are profiteering off public domain material (at least in the
case of Warsaw Ghetto Uprising). As it's public domain, there's no
actual legal requirement to provide attribution...
Although it's certainly not nice, is it actually breaking copyright/
the law in this case?
For copyrighted / Creative Commons images, it's obviously a very
different matter...
