US President-elect Donald Trump is under fire from Jewish groups who sought an apology from him for his remark comparing reports about him to Nazi-era propaganda, saying his statement was erroneous, offensive and denigrating to Holocaust survivors.
The Anti-Defamation league and the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect condemned Trump for what they characterised as trivialising one of the singular horrors of the 20th century to score a political point, The New York Times reported.
“Has he no sense of shameIJ” Steven Goldstein, executive director of the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect, said. The Center is the American chapter of an international group that fights prejudice to honor the legacy of Anne Frank, the teenage diarist who perished in the Holocaust in 1945.
