Capitol Chaos: Anti-Semitic Apparel Worn During Riot Traced To Website Based In New York City

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — There is outrage over an anti-Semitic sweatshirt worn by a man during the U.S. Capitol riot last week. 

The website selling the propaganda has a New York City address and on Sunday night thousands of people were calling for it to be shut down, CBS2’s Lisa Rozner reported. The viral photo of a man at the Capitol wearing a “Camp Auschwitz” hoodie that reads “Work brings freedom” has sparked worldwide rage as it makes light of the horrors of the Nazi’s notorious concentration camp.

Rabbi Diana Fersko leads the Village Temple in Union Square.

“We’re all a living remnant of that historical crime, whether it’s direct knowledge or indirect knowledge and it’s something that many of us feel very, very close to still,” Fersko said.
