Man names store 'Hitler,' claims he didn't know who Hitler was

It’s bad enough to name your clothing store “Hitler” (complete with swastika-dotting ‘i’), but it's even more incredulous to claim you had no idea who this Hitler guy was when the local Jewish community got pissed off.

Shah’s defense? “Hitler” was the nickname of his business partner’s grandfather, known for his “strict nature.” Shah said he had “only recently” read online about Hitler, and said he would change the name of the store if he were compensated for the cost of changing the sign and to print new business cards
