Online Site Sells Auschwitz T-Shirts.
Friday 08th of December 2006 11:06:34 AM
An online site has started selling Auschwitz T-shirts as a joke which has sickened hundreds of people. The printed T-shirts with Holocaust inscriptions on them appeared on CafePress which is a US based online marketplace with 2.5 million members. Cafepress provides an ecommerce service to small businesses and individuals who create and sell a variety of merchandise online.
One of the tasteless t-shirts has the words “My Grandparents went to Auschwitz and all I got was this lousy T-shirt” printed onto it. Another sick T-shirt reads “Arbeit Macht Frie” which was the exact phrase that deportees were met with when they arrived at the German concentration camps. Now after offending the Holocaust survivors and victims’ families, the site has been told by the Anti-Defamation League to take the T-shirts off the site.
To date the Anti-Defamation league has has not been given any explanation or comment from CafePress. However the T-shirts have been removed from the web site. The T-shirts just go to show how tasteless some people can be. Whilst it is important to sometimes not take life too seriously, these T-shirts were always going to offend people in the worst possible way.
Making light of a very serious mass murder is never funny and one can only imagine how the families must be feeling.
