Goldberg apologizes after the uproar over her comment that the Holocaust was not about tribes

American actress Whoopi Goldberg apologized after the uproar caused by her comments about the Holocaust, which, as she said, “was not about races”.

The actress, who is presenting the American talk show of ABC The View, said yesterday that the Holocaust was about human-to-human bestiality and included “two different groups of whites”.

The Oscar-winning actress then apologized, saying: “On today’s show I said that the Holocaust is not about race, but human-to-human bestiality. I should have said it’s about both.”

The discussion on the show came after the decision of the board of a school in Tennessee to remove from the curriculum of the 2nd High School the Holocaust comic book entitled “Maus” referring to obscenities and naked in the content of the book by the Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist. Art Spiegelman.

Goldberg’s comments were criticized by Internet activists as dangerous.

“No, Whoopi Goldberg, the Holocaust was about the systematic extermination of the Jewish people by the Nazis, who were considered inferior. “It’s dangerous,” wrote Jonathan Greenblatt, the head of the international Jewish NGO Anti-Defamation League, on Twitter.

“The Jewish people around the world have always had my support and that will never change. I’m sorry for the pain I caused,” she said.
