The image showed the iconic image of a young girl in a red coat appearing several times, while Liam Neeson, who played Oskar Schindler was also plastered across the trousers.

The post was met with outrage by some who were left shocked by the find.

One user responded to the post by saying: “This article of clothing does not need to exist.”

While another wrote: “I think we’re not going to get any worse than this so shut it down.”

It is believed that the leggings were originally bought from an Australian online shop called RedBubble.

The shop says it aims to “independent artists a meaningful new way to sell their creations".

Other items of Schindler’s list merchandise the Australian store sells include a shower curtain, mini-skirt and cushions.

A spokesperson for RedBubble told GB News: "Redbubble takes matters such as this very seriously.
