Summary
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is selling a limited-edition T-shirt featuring the 1936 Berlin Olympics poster, designed by German artist Franz Würbel, which was used as propaganda by Adolf Hitler to promote Nazi ideology. The IOC claims the shirt is part of the Heritage Collection, celebrating the art and design of the Olympic Games. Critics, including StopAntisemitism founder Liora Rez and Holocaust documentary director Yoav Potash, have condemned the move, calling it a “shame” and a “sickening affront to human decency”.
