Whoopi Goldberg is facing criticism from the Anti-Defamation League, the U.S. Holocaust Museum and other Jewish organizations for her remarks on the latest episode of “The View,” in which she stated that the Holocaust was “not about race.”

Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, responded to “The View” co-hosts comments on Twitter, calling her remarks “dangerous.”

Goldberg’s comments came during a discussion on the program regarding a Tennessee school board’s ban of “Maus,” a nonfiction graphic novel about cartoonist Art Spiegelman’s father’s experience surviving the Holocaust.

“Let’s be truthful about it because [the] Holocaust isn’t about race,” Goldberg said on Monday’s episode. “It’s not about race. It’s about man’s inhumanity to man… 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 [about] how people treat each other. It doesn’t matter if you’re Black or white, Jews — it’s each other.”

1. The Nuremberg Laws and the Wannsee Protocol/Conference say otherwise.

It was about race.

Nazi propaganda said otherwise.

It was about race.

The words of Hitler said otherwise.

It was about race.

Take the seven-chapter online course, Ms. Goldberg.

Learn something.

4. There is no Jewish race or Aryan race for that matter.

Hitler claiming there was doesn’t make it so. The Holocaust was religious persecution on a horrific scale. I don’t understand how saying it wasn’t racist gets equated to denying the horror of what happened.

5. Actors, pundits, influencers running their mouths off

It's annoying

She could do her viewers an actual service by interviewing Holocaust survivors, academics, researchers and journalists. Instead these celebrities make themselves the story

ugh

7. Bully

She is a bully....thinks her opinions matter. The view is a horrible show. Arrogance and ignorance are her best friends.

6. People have been cancelled for less than this

It's up there with her, "But it wasn't rape rape," to defend Roman Polanski.
