Whoopi Goldberg Apologizes for Holocaust Comments - Read Her Statement

Whoopi Goldberg is speaking out with an apology after she received backlash for the comments she made about the Holocaust on the latest episode of The View.

The talk show host claimed that the Holocaust was not about race.

“Let’s be truthful about it because Holocaust isn’t about race,” she said. “It’s not about race. It’s not about race. It’s about man’s inhumanity to man.”

She added, “These are two white groups of people! The minute you turn it into race it goes down this alley. Let’s talk about it for what it is. It’s how people treat each other. It doesn’t matter if you’re Black or white, Jews, it’s each other.”

“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 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,” Whoopi said.

She concluded, “The Jewish people around the world have always had my support and that will never waiver. I’m sorry for the hurt I have caused. Written with my sincerest apologies, Whoopi Goldberg.”
