Certainly. In general I see absolutely nothing wrong from profiting on a
tragedy, profit is an objectively positive thing and I think it would be
wonderful if somebody could find a little good in a horrible situation.
Accordingly, you will hear no complaint from me if somebody sells a Holocaust
lunch box and keeps all the profit for himself. I don't intend to buy one
however, it seems a little tacky to me, but that's just my subjective opinion.
Of course, perpetrating a tragedy in order to profit from it is a completely
different matter.
