On the January 27 episode of the ITV daytime show Ranvir Singh was informing viewers of King Charles’ trip to former Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz–Birkenau to mark 80 years since its liberation. ‘Six million people were killed in concentration camps during the Second World War, as well as millions of others because they were Polish, disabled, gay, or belonged to another ethnic group,’ Ranvir stated within the report.
In the next day’s show, Ranvir, 47, acknowledged that they’d made a mistake by not mentioning that Jews were victims: ‘In yesterday’s news when we reported on the memorial events in Auschwitz, we said six million people were killed in the Holocaust but crucially failed to say they were Jewish. That was our mistake for which we apologise.’.
The original segment was criticised for the exclusion of Jews, with the Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) group calling out the show on X. ‘Jews. The word you’re looking for is ‘Jews’, not ‘people’,’ they began after quoting the original news report.
‘This truly beggars belief. This dire reporting is not only factually incorrect but erases Jews from a genocide in which six million Jewish men, women and children were slaughtered specifically because they were Jews. How is it possible, therefore, that on Holocaust Memorial Day of all days, @GMB manages to acknowledge several other groups but not Jews?.
