| These Shirts are more widely available than at Zara's. |
Fashion chain Zara has come under fire for selling a baby’s pajama top that many on social media claimed looked like the uniform Jewish prisoners were forced to wear in WWII concentration camps.
The shirt, which has since been removed from stores and online, featured white and blue stripes and six-pointed yellow star on the front that was intended to represent a sheriff’s badge. The word ‘sheriff’ was written across the badge, but this was obscured on zoomed-out images on the website and instead likened to the Star of David.
According to the U.K.’s The Guardian newspaper, Israeli journalist Dimi Reider, writing for the 972mag.com website, was the first to spot the similarities.
"It’s a SHERIFF shirt for your three-year-old. Obviously. What else could it be?," he wrote.
Zara has since responded on Twitter, apologizing in several languages for the mistake and adding that the product was no longer on sale.
