Zara Is Sorry for Making a Shirt That Looked Like a Nazi Concentration Camp Uniform

[LloydS of New London]

Zara says it is very, very sorry for selling the children’s T-shirt you see up above, which looks awfully similar to the uniforms Jews wore in Nazi concentration camps. The gold star says “Sheriff,” because the tee was apparently meant to invoke old westerns. (Were Texas law men ever into blue sailor stripes?) Anyway, here are some Jews dressed up at Buchenwald, as a frame of reference. Their stars have a big N on them, which stands for Niederländer.

A Special Kind of Stupid!

[LloydS of New London]

1. So, no one cares about a retailer trying to make money off the Holocaust?

Hey, I'm not even Jewish, but oy!

2. Do you really think that is what they were trying to do?

Once people pointed out what it reminded them of, they pulled the shirt.

If they were really trying to make money off the Holocaust, when people pointed out what it reminded them of, they would've jumped with glee and hoped to sell tons to.. wait who would even buy them? If you want to profit off the Holocaust this is not how you do it.

It was supposed to be a Sheriff's star but really bad oversight, coupled with a heavy dose of ignorance.
