David Baddiel warns of 'more insidious' Holocaust denial as he makes new BBC film
7 July 2019
David Baddiel has warned of "more insidious" Holocaust denial as he makes a new BBC film to keep the memory of survivors alive.
The comedian will investigate the history and modern face of Holocaust denial in the new film the BBC Factual announced today.
Mr Baddiel, 55, said: "I’ve always had a dark fascination with Holocaust Denial. The fact that since it happened (indeed whilst it was happening) forces have tried to undermine one of the most well-documented truths of history seems to me a key battleground in the fight between truth and lies, a battle made more complex by the emergence of new technology, a post-truth world and more insidious, 'soft core' forms of denial."
Mr Baddiel, whose mother was a refugee of Nazi Germany, has described himself as a "Jewish atheist".
