Zara removes 'Holocaust' baby garment
Top for toddlers featured stripes and a yellow star

CLOTHES giant Zara was forced yesterday to remove a top for toddlers from their rails following complaints that it looked like a concentration camp uniform.

The Spanish-owned retailer pulled its “striped sheriff” T-shirt after its social media account was flooded with thousands of complaints. 

Blue and white striped, with a yellow star on the chest, the £10.99 shirt was being sold for boys between the ages of three months and three years.
