OLIVER STONE has apologised for "clumsy" comments he made in an English n ewspaper, suggesting the Holocaust has become Hitler’s most prominent atr ocity because of Jewish control of the media.
In an interview with Britain’s Sunday Times, the director was explainin g how his latest documentary about the Nazi leader and former Soviet dict ator Stalin would put the two men "in context".
He added, "Hitler was a Frankenstein but there was also a Dr. Frankenst ein. German industrialists, the Americans and the British. He had a lot o f support. Hitler did far more damage to the Russians than the Jewish peo ple, 25 or 30 (million killed)." And when asked why he thought there had been more of a historical focus on the killings of Jews during the Holocaust, he replied, "Jewish domina tion of the media. There’s a major lobby in the United States. They (Jews ) are hard workers. They stay on top of every comment, the most powerful lobby in Washington." The comments caused outrage online, with the The Anti-Defamation League slamming Stone for "suggesting that Hitler has gotten an unfair shake be cause of Jewish influence." Now the moviemaker has released a statement, speaking of his regret ove r the remarks.
He says, "In trying to make a broader historical point about the range of atrocities the Germans committed against many people, I made a clumsy association about the Holocaust, for which I am sorry and I regret.
"Jews obviously do not control media or any other industry. The fact th at the Holocaust is still a very important, vivid and current matter toda y is, in fact, a great credit to the very hard work of a broad coalition of people committed to the remembrance of this atrocity - and it was an a trocity."
