BBC fails to mention Jews in some Holocaust Remembrance Day coverage, sparking outrage

The British Broadcasting Corporation faced criticism after several of its broadcasts marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day failed to mention the Jewish identity of the Holocaust victims. Reports on both television and radio referred to 'six million people' killed by the Nazi regime, omitting the fact that the vast majority were Jews. Following public backlash and statements from Jewish organizations and community leaders, the broadcaster apologized, acknowledging the error and promising a correction.

Jewish leaders and advocacy groups condemned the omission as a distortion of history and an affront to Holocaust victims and survivors. The controversy comes amid rising antisemitic incidents in Britain and a reported decline in Holocaust education in schools. The incident has reignited concerns about how the Holocaust is remembered and represented in the media.
