Zara said it will destroy striped shirts emblazoned with a yellow star after the items drew criticism across social media for resembling uniforms worn at concentration camps during the Holocaust.

The striped T-shirt with a six-pointed yellow star was on sale in several countries, including Israel, today for a few hours until the Inditex SA-owned brand realized it was a sensitive issue and decided to pull it, a company spokeswoman said. Sales of the shirt were marginal, Zara said.
