Printed on the shirt was a poster from the Nazi exhibit, which opened in Munich in November 1937 and ran until January 31, 193,8 and displayed what Nazis considered to be "typical" Jewish physical features, according to the BBC.The film of the same name was directed by Fritz Hippler, who disguised the film's antisemitic message as a "documentary," and attempted to use it to justify the Holocaust. Joseph Goebbels, Adolf Hitler's minister of propaganda, organized the film's production, which many consider it to be the most violent anti-Jewish film ever made.This is not the first time this year that online retailers have gotten in trouble for antisemitic products. In January, Zazzle, a personalized gift company, was criticized for selling shirts that read "At least I'm not Jewish." Once aware of the situation, Zazzle quickly pulled the shirt from their website.The shirt has been removed from Amazon's website.Benjamin Weinthal and Amy Spiro contributed to this story."Der ewige Jude" (the eternal Jew) exhibition was an example of virulent and hateful antisemitic propaganda in Nazi Germany.@AmazonUK offers a t-shirt with a horrible exhibition poster described as "IDEAL GIFT For Teens, Men, Women".We hope it will be removed. #antisemitism pic.twitter.com/g6yenyFzGO
