A German sausage museum has cancelled plans to move to the site of a former Nazi camp after news of the plan triggered a huge backlash.
The German Bratwurst Museum was slated to move to an area on the outskirts of the town of Muehlhausen.
The site was used by the Nazis to hold captives who were being transferred to the Buchenwald concentration camp.
The plan had drawn criticism from a number of people, including Jewish leaders.
Reinhard Schramm, Chairman of the Jewish Community in Thuringia, told Reuters he was "shocked and irritated" by the plan's "total lack of sensitivity".
Uwe Keith, head of the association that operates the museum, told Bild newspaper that "we definitely won't build there".
He told news agency dpa that the group had only discovered the site's history on Wednesday and will launch a "complete re-evaluation".
It had been offered the site by a private investor who bought it from the German government in 2008.
