The Jewish Daily Forward website reports today (April 24, 2012) that a Danish fashion company has apologized for a T-shirt featuring a six-point star, after critics complained it evoked the Star of David that the Nazis forced Jews to wear.
The yellow T-shirt -- which featured a blue patchwork star on its pocket -- appeared on the Urban Outfitters retail website last week.
It drew a complaint from the U.S. Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which urged the retailer to remove the shirt from its online catalogue.
Brian Jensen -- co-founder of the Danish fashion company that designed the shirt -- said the star has been removed after concerns were raised. He said, "I am sorry if anyone was offended seeing the shirt."
