Singer in Thai girl band apologizes for swastika shirt
BANGKOK — A popular Thai music act has apologized after one of its members wore a shirt showing the swastika flag of Nazi Germany during a performance.
The incident involving the girl group BNK48 occurred just two days ahead of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, marked Sunday with sombre ceremonies in other parts of the world to remember the 6 million Jews and others killed in Adolf Hitler’s death camps.
Israel’s embassy in Thailand posted a statement on Twitter expressing “shock and dismay over the Nazi outfit worn by the singer.”
