The BBC has apologized after failing to mention Jews in its coverage of International Holocaust Memorial Day, sparking widespread criticism from Jewish organizations, Holocaust educators, and former BBC staff. The omission, which occurred in introductions to several programs, was condemned as 'hurtful, disrespectful and wrong' and described by critics as a form of Holocaust distortion. Prominent figures, including Lord Pickles and Karen Pollock, emphasized the importance of specifically acknowledging the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust, warning that such omissions risk diluting historical truth and aiding antisemitism. The BBC responded by highlighting other segments that did reference Jewish victims and promised to issue a correction, acknowledging that the wording in some bulletins was incorrect. This incident follows a series of controversies involving the broadcaster and its coverage of issues related to Israel and the Jewish community.
