Not much to discuss really, just as someone who studied heritage management, found it interesting.

Basically the Auschwitz museum operators pointed out and complained about this Australian based company thay allowed people to design things.

Apparently some artists were selling pillows skirts and whatnot with pictures of the camp as the selling point.

Im not one to call stuff offensive, but this is can easily be seen as disrespectful.

But hey, capitalism

Disrespectful? Yes.

Distasteful? Yes.

Illegal? No.

This is how free markets and the free world operates.

[Demsi]

Why would anyone even buy this?

Design your own clothing stuff like this has been going on for a while now. Upload a fitting image, the preview automatically photoshops in your image to the clothing and you can buy it if you like it.

Not sure if that's the case here of if the site itself specifically designed these, either way controversy like this will probably boost their sales.

[Daedius]

wow, just reading that was incredibly distasteful...

God thats hideous. Floral skirt all day errday. Not that i can wear them at work since i have to wear jeans but the will is there.

Is it illegal? Probably not

But i gotta say it is one of the most tasteless and disrespectful things i've ever seen.

I mean there are people who collect artwork created by serial killers, so this isn't too far out there I guess.

They should wear actual work clothes/uniforms instead of jeans.

The legality of it wasn't put in question, the taste was.

And you're right, people were permitted to create a product, but given particular feedback the company is choosing to withdraw the products

In their minds, they are paying homage to the memory of what happened, out of some weird method of doing so, you know like how people buy plates of royal weddings

do you really see many construction workers in khaki's or work uni's? Come on, man.

We live in a time of very poor taste being part of the mainstream

Yea but this one of those cases where it makes sense. It is distasteful and disrespectful.
