Whoopi Goldberg apologises for saying Holocaust “isn’t about race”

The View on ABC, said that the atrocity was instead “about man’s inhumanity to man” in a discussion about the Pulitzer-winning Holocaust novel Maus, which has been banned by a school board in Tennessee.In the original discussion, Goldberg commented: “Let’s be truthful, the Holocaust isn’t about race, it’s not.

It’s about man’s inhumanity to man, that’s what it’s about. These are two groups of white people.”Goldberg later said Jewish people “always had my support” in a statement that addressed the backlash to her comments online.She added: “On today’s show I said the Holocaust is not about race, but about man’s inhumanity to man’.

I should have said it is about both.“As Jonathan Greenblatt from of the Anti-Defamation League shared, ‘The Holocaust was about the Nazi’s systematic annihilation of the Jewish people, who they deemed to be an inferior race’.

I stand corrected.“The Jewish people around the world have always had my support and that will never (waver). I am sorry for the hurt I have caused.“Written with my sincerest apologies.
