BBC apologizes after 'incorrectly worded' Holocaust Memorial Day coverage intro blasted as 'absolute disgrace'

The British Broadcasting Corporation has issued an apology after its coverage of Holocaust Memorial Day failed to specifically mention Jewish people in its introduction, instead referring to 'six million people murdered by the Nazi regime.' The omission drew sharp criticism from journalists, Jewish organizations, and members of the public, who accused the broadcaster of erasing the Jewish identity of Holocaust victims and diluting the historical specificity of the tragedy. The BBC acknowledged the error, stating that the wording was incorrect and promising to issue a correction online. This incident follows previous controversies involving the broadcaster's coverage of antisemitism, Israel, and related conflicts, for which the BBC has also faced public scrutiny and issued apologies.
