Zara stops sales of child costume

147

The shop Zara sells a costume no more. It is for kids and Halloween. The costume has blue and white stripes. It looks old and dirty. You see barbed wire on the cloth. You see numbers on the arms.

Many people are very angry. They say: The costume looks like prison clothes. They mean clothes from concentration camps. The Nazis locked people up there long ago. A journalist from Israel calls the design a nightmare.

Zara deletes the costume now. You can buy it no more. The firm says: This is a mistake. It is a costume for a groom. Zara says sorry for the error.

This is not the first time at Zara. In the year 2014 there is a shirt with a yellow star. This star looks like the Jew star of the Nazis. In the year 2007 there is a bag. You see swastikas on the bag.
