Meanwhile, the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust’s chief executive, Olivia Marks-Woldman, said in a statement: “We are absolutely appalled at Jimmy Carr’s comment about persecution suffered by Roma and Sinti people under Nazi oppression, and horrified that gales of laughter followed his remarks.
“Hundreds of thousands of Roma and Sinti people suffered prejudice, slave labour, sterilisation and mass murder simply because of their identity – these are not experiences for mockery.”
Meanwhile, MP Nadia Whittome tweeted that she had written to Netflix “urging [them] to remove Jimmy Carr’s vile anti-GRT and antisemitic material.”
Netflix has declined to comment on the scandal so far.
