While it ’s unclear where that original “ Auschwitz ” hoodie come from , an apparent moving ridge of copy - cat shirts popped up on Teespring , as well as onsites like Etsy and TeeChip .

Yet this is not the first time Teespring has had these problems . Almost like an e - commerce interpretation of Parler , the company ’s want of comprehensive oversight over the content on its website has often gotten it into hot piddle . Case in point : about a calendar month ago , Judaic group speak out against the companyafter it was caught deal T - shirt that read “ I go the Holocaugh , ” a white supremacistjoke about covid-19.It also sell shirtsthat lionized Dylann Roof , the Charleston church building hit man . After being called out for incidents like this , the company has typically taken down or ban the ware from being sold .
