Nazi iconography ranging from swastika flags to T-shirts showing images of Adolf Hitler are easy to find in Southeast Asian markets. Critics attribute this trend to ignorance about historical facts and a misplaced fascination with the fascist regime.

The appearance sparked a huge controversy, with the Israeli embassy expressing “shock and dismay”. There are some, however, who are growing more aware of the reasons why such items cause offense.
