Holocaust Comments Result in Suspension
In 2022, Whoopi Goldberg faced significant backlash after making comments about the Holocaust not being “about race” on a talk show. Identifying as Jewish, her statements were met with criticism for seemingly disregarding the racial hatred that fueled the Holocaust, orchestrated by Nazi Germany against Jewish people.
The controversy prompted a two-week suspension from the show she was part of. In response to the criticism, Goldberg issued an apology, recognizing her error and affirming the Holocaust as a genocide rooted in racial animosity.
