Whoopi Goldberg is back on The View and says she’s going to keep having tough conversations after Holocaust controversy

'NOT ABOUT RACE'

During The View's January 31 episode, Goldberg received pushback after claiming the Holocaust, which involved the murder of six million Jews and other victims, was not "about race."

Goldberg's comments came only days after Holocaust Remembrance Day, when tribute was paid to the six million people who died.

During the episode, The View's show had been discussing the recent scandal after a Tennessee school board voted to remove the Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel Maus from an eighth-grade language arts curriculum. 

The book depicts Jews being tortured and murdered by the Nazis during World War Two.

The board had claimed the book is unsuitable because of bad language and the depiction of female nudity.

It was removed from this school's curriculum after months of increased pressure from parents in some districts over books that focus on issues of race, gender identity, and sexuality.

“I’m surprised that’s what made you uncomfortable, the fact that there was some nudity. I mean, it’s about the Holocaust, the killing of 6 million people, but that didn’t bother you?” Goldberg asked.
