On Jan. 31, 2022, Whoopi Goldberg, co-host of "The View," commented during a discussion about a Tennessee school board's banning of the Pulitzer winning Holocaust graphic novel "Maus" that the Holocaust was "not about race ... it's about man's inhumanity to other men." As a result, she was suspended for two weeks starting Feb.2, 2022. Goldberg expressed remorse over her remarks, saying she realized that they were misinformed and that she had misspoken.

Was the Holocaust about race?

The Nazi ideology was based mainly on a misconception of racism as a science, and specifically Eugenics, as a means to improve the genetic quality of what they called "The Aryan race." This misconception led to the systematic extermination of what the Nazis saw as "degenerate" sub-humans, such as Roma and Jews (and homosexuals and others). Today both the Roma people and the Jewish nation are not considered a biological race. In fact, in recent years, human geneticists have mostly abandoned the term "race" in favor of  "ethnicity," "ancestry," and location-based terms.

Is Whoopi Goldberg Jewish?

Whoopi Goldberg was born Caryn Elaine Johnson to a Manhattan Baptist clergyman and attended a local Catholic school. She adopted the name Whoopi Goldberg as her stage name, stating that "Goldberg is my name—it's part of my family, part of my heritage, just like being black," and that "I know I am Jewish. I practice nothing. I don't go to temple, but I do remember the holidays." On her Jan. 31 "The Late Show" appearance, Goldberg explained that, as a Black person, she thinks of racism as being based on skin color but that she realized not everyone sees it that way. On Feb. 1's The View, she said she had learned from the experience. "It is indeed about race because Hitler and the Nazis considered Jews to be an inferior race," she said. "I stand corrected. I also stand with the Jewish people, as they know, and y'all know because I've always done that."
