For June Scharf, whose ancestors died in the Holocaust, the MGM uniforms featuring a yellow polo shirt with a 6-point star were 'triggering.'
MGM Resorts International plans to redesign its security guard uniforms after a Jewish woman complained, saying that they evoke Holocaust imagery.
— Las Vegas RJ July 25, 2019 “It’s a real trigger,” she told the Las Vegas Review Journal. “You see something like that and you stop in your tracks…It’s something we directly associate with a time, a place and a tragedy.” After witnessing the uniforms, Scharf first tried to contact MGM’s Northfield property but was unable to leave a voicemail. So, she enlisted the help of a local community paper, the Cleveland Jewish News .MGM Resorts International declined Yahoo Lifestyle’s request for comment on the controversy. However, upon receiving a call from CJN on June 22, MGM spokesperson Debra DeShong said the company would “begin the process of changing the badges on the uniforms in question” throughout the company.
