Bed, Bath and Beyond Good Taste

user submitted pictureCan you imagine going shopping for a nice set of flannel sheets and turning up with these instead? A son of Holocaust survivors found two sets of sheets patterned with WWII “Jude” stars for sale at a Petaluma, CA Grocery Outlet last week, the same offensive symbol his parents were forced to wear sixty years ago. j. weekly reports that “the stars were made with dotted lines, as if to be cut out and sewn onto clothing” (insert heebie jeebies here.) No one seems to know where the fabric came from or how they could have made it to shelves without a single employee wondering “gee, aren’t these, like, really offensive?”
Ironically, the brand name, Nature at Home, is owned by Sam Salem and Sons out of Manhattan, a manufacturing firm comprised of mostly Jewish and Israeli workers. They’re mystified and embarrassed that star sheets have been traced back to their company.

    Love may be blind but marriage is a real eye-opener. 🙂
