BOYCOTT NAZI DESIGNER HUGO BOSS

The Issue

Hugo Boss went from bankruptcy in 1923 to multi-millionaire by joining the Nazi Party. He became one of Adolf Hitler's early admirers and personal friend. A fervent Nazi he manufactured the Nazi uniforms, especially those stylish SS black outfits. He used slave labor. He was tried for his crimes after the war and convicted in 1946. Yet he managed to stay in business and, figuring out that the market for Nazi uniforms didn't have a promising future after the war, he decided to go into the men's clothing line. In 2011 the company admitted Hugo Boss's shameful past but continue to operate under the "goodwill" of his name.

What planet are we on? How can an ignorant public parade around with the name of a Hitler-loving Nazi on their clothing? Why are giant advertisements bearing his name so proudly displayed? Is it only because the Hugo Boss label was inside the SS Skull and Cross Bones Cap instead of on a brand name label sewn to the front of their uniforms?

Do your own homework on this. Just look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_Boss

We humbly ask that you boycott all Hugo Boss products and promote this petition.
