[Durova]

An eBay vendor is exploiting a volunteer restoration of the Holocaust.

Another volunteer at Commons first spotted it.

Going through their online store revealed a dozen more of my restorations
for sale, all without credit.  Other featured picture contributors may want
to review the vendor's collection to see whether their work is also being
exploited.  I also confirmed items in this vendor's collection that are
copyrighted to the NAACP and Walt Disney Coporation.  Made relevant phone
calls this afternoon.
