Whoopi Goldberg apologises for 'dangerous' Holocaust comments | ITV News

Whoopi Goldberg has apologised "for the hurt she caused" after "dangerous" comments she made about the Holocaust prompted anger from Jewish groups and others.

Ms Goldberg wrote an apology on Twitter following the comments she made while co-hosting ABC talk show The View, saying the Holocaust “isn’t about race”, adding it was about “man’s inhumanity to man”.

Her comments came during a discussion about a US school board's decision to ban Maus, a Pulitzer prize-winning graphic novel about the experiences of a Holocaust survivor.
