Here's some controversy about clothing.

According to Yahoo! News [1], some clothes designed and sold by Polish artist Agata Siwek has received a lot of gripe about the designs of the clothes including skull and crossbones and a keyring with a German inscription, which reads: 'Arbeit Macht Frei'.

Some people think that the designs remind them about the old Nazi death camps, which is in fact the idea.

"Taking a souvenir and hanging it on your keys is a way to remember the evil inside all of us. It (Auschwitz) is the symbol of the ultimate evil," Siwek said.
