(Jewish Group) David Baddiel fears 'Holocaust fatigue' as interest in the Nazi genocide wanes
David Baddiel has warned of the danger of “Holocaust fatigue” growing as the public lose interest in remembering the Nazi genocide.
Addressing Holocaust Educational Trust (HET) ambassadors in London, the comedian said: “It needs to be constantly there and understood as part and parcel of why Jews face racism.”
Over time, however, the genocide has become “deprioritised”, he claimed.
The Jews Don’t Count author emphasised that 70 years after the Shoah, antisemitism is continuing around the world.
“Nazis were marching in Charlottesville in 2019,” he said. “Antisemitism always reappears. I don’t get the sense that it’s gone away.”

His book, "Jews Don't Count", is really good. It isn't a long read. Pick it up!
