Fashion company Hugo Boss, which used Nazi slave labor to produce uniforms during the Holocaust, is being accused of similarly making use of a Chinese supply chain that uses persecuted Chinese minority Uyghurs as forced labor.
This week, human rights campaigners criticized Hugo Boss’s supply companies, alleging they use what is referred to as a “labor transfer scheme” where the Chinese government moves members of the Uyghur minority to work in factories outside of their home province, Xinjiang.
