Famous global fashion chain Zara has once more been accused of Anti-Semitism.
They were forced to withdraw a striped children’s top that resembled concentration camp uniforms from its stores.
“The shirt bears a large six-pointed star on the upper-left section, in the exact place where Nazis forced Jews to wear the Star of David,”
wrote Israeli newspaper Haaretz.
Zara apologized and said the shirt was “inspired by the sheriff’s stars from the Classic Western films.”
Regardless of the apology, Zara’s Facebook followers posted a number of comments concerning the incident.
“After your concentration camp tee shirt I was wondering when is your ZYKLON B perfume coming out?”
“Whomever the anti-Semitic person is that decided to market your Nazi-inspired “sherrif” t-shirt should be fired!,”
wrote another.
“I will never, EVER buy any of your products again!”
In 2007, Zara was forced to pull a handbag from sale because the design featured swastikas.
