The BBC has apologized after an episode of The Repair Shop about the Kindertransport failed to mention Jews, sparking criticism. The episode focused on restoring a cello belonging to Martin Landau, who escaped Nazi Germany as a child via the Kindertransport, but did not acknowledge that the operation primarily rescued Jewish children from the Holocaust. The omission led to public backlash, with reports that references to Jews were removed during editing. The BBC has since added a correction to its streaming service, clarifying the Jewish nature of the Kindertransport, though the official episode description still lacks this detail. This incident comes amid ongoing scrutiny of the BBC's coverage of issues related to Israel and Jewish history.
