The face masks arent subtle: One is emblazoned with the famous photo of a Jewish mother and child, their hands raised, at Nazi gunpoint. Another shows an unmistakable image of a concentration camp crematorium.
The product description below the mother-and-child mask reads: Another bold image that gets the point across without being overly offensive. It sells for $12.44.
Those masks, and others like them, are sold online at HolocaustFaceMasks.com. Other products on the site feature photos from Nazi rallies or a Japanese internment camp in the United States. A T-shirt sold on the site shows three pictures in numerical order: first, a generic face mask; second, a photo of Jews lining up to enter a ghetto; third, a photo of a Nazi concentration camp.
You probably get the point. But in case you dont, the websites founder explained his objective on the homepage. Our goal here is to provide a reminder of what can happen when millions of people follow seemingly innocent orders and rules, the site says. In the times of the [H]olocaust people may not have had such a recent example of evil to keep them vigilant and weary [sic] of evil to come. We do.

instead of the true victims they are using to push their bs.

Who's mouths will be kissing the asses of those in the imagery.
And appropriately so.

Plain old every day offensive should be just fine. WTF!?
