Holocaust Archives Volunteer Arrested for Theft; Stole Holocaust Documents and Sold Them Online

The Jewish Telegraphic Agency website reports that a volunteer at a private Holocaust archives library in Texas was arrested this week for stealing documents and selling them online.

Mansal Denton, 20, was a volunteer for a year-and-a-half at the Mazal Holocaust Library in San Antonio of the largest privately held Holocaust archives in the world.

Retired Mexico City businessman Harry Mazal, 73, owns the archives. He reportedly spent one million dollars collecting the documents.

While scanning documents to post on the archive's website, Denton allegedly stole the documents. In December 2010, Mazal found some of the missing documents for sale by Denton online.

Denton was arrested on January 12 and charged with second-degree felony theft.
