'Nazi Collection' bedspread to be withdrawn after protest by Indian Jews - International Herald Tribune

A home furnishing company agreed to withdraw the name "The Nazi Collection" from a new line of bedspreads on Monday after objections from India's Jewish community.

Furnishing dealer Jagdish Todi met Jewish community leaders to assure them that the family-owned company did not intend to hurt the sentiments of Jews, said Jonathan Solomon, chairman of the Indian Jewish Federation.

Todi apologized for offending the Jewish community and said all advertising and publicity material with the name "The Nazi Collection" would be immediately destroyed and not allowed to be circulated or marketed, and the company wouldn't use the word in the future, Solomon said.
