recent ban of the Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel Holocaust retelling “Maus,” Goldberg argued that the genocide was broader than a race-based injustice.“The Holocaust isn’t about race. No, it’s not about race,” Goldberg, 66, said repeatedly. “It’s about man’s inhumanity to man.” Other “The View” co-hosts were quick to disagree.
“Well, it’s about white supremacy. That’s what it’s about,” interrupted political strategist Ana Navarro. “It’s about going after Jews and gypsies.”“But these are two groups of white people,” retorted Goldberg.
“You’re missing the point. The minute you turn it into race, it goes down this alley. Let’s talk about it for what it is.
It’s how people treat each other. It’s a problem. It doesn’t matter if you’re Black or white because Black, white, Jews, Italians, everybody eats each other.”Bringing it back to “Maus,” she went on, “If you hear about ‘Maus,’ should you be worried — should your child say ‘Oh my God, I wonder if that’s me?’ No.
That’s not what they’re going to say. They’re going to say, ‘I don’t want to be like that.” In the brief but tumultuous discussion, in which the hosts can at points barely be understood over one another, co-host Joy Behar noted that the Nazis considered Jewish people to be “a different race,” the Daily Beast noted. At another point in the discussion, Navarro emphasized the importance of teaching children about the Holocaust considering comparisons by anti-vaxxers of COVID-19 vaccination cards and Jews being made to wear stars. “So it is necessary for kids to learn about the Holocaust,” said Navarro. The discussion ended awkwardly, everyone still speaking, when Goldberg turned to the camera to declare it time for a commercial break.
