According to photos snapped by an L.A. County native studying abroad in Canada, one popular Montreal boutique may be profiting off history's most notorious dictator.
Various T-shirts printed with the likeness of Adolf Hitler were discovered today by Sierra Holtz, a former teacher in Israel (and friend of mine) who's now majoring in Jewish Studies at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada.

All the shirts were tagged with the phrase “Too fast to live, too young to die.”
