Amazon in Holocaust row about ‘Hunters’ series, anti-Semitic books

Logan Lerman, Al Pacino and Josh Radnor, cast members in the Amazon Prime Video series 'Hunters,' pose together at the premiere of the show at the Directors Guild of America, Feb. 19, 2020, in Los Angeles.The Auschwitz Memorial criticized Amazon on Sunday for fictitious depictions of the Holocaust in its Prime series “Hunters” and for selling books of Nazi propaganda.

“Hunters,” released on Friday and starring Al Pacino, features a team of Nazi hunters in 1970s New York who discover that hundreds of escaped Nazis are living in the United States.However, the series has faced accusations of bad taste, particularly for depicting fictional atrocities in Nazi death camps, such as a game of human chess in which people are killed when a piece is taken.

“When you decide to make a profit on selling vicious antisemitic Nazi propaganda published without any critical comment or context, you need to remember that those words led not only to the #Holocaust but also many other hate crimes,” the Auschwitz Memorial tweeted on Sunday.“As a bookseller, we are mindful of book censorship throughout history, and we do not take this lightly.

Separately, prosecutors launched an investigation into a primary school in the town of Labunie, which staged a re-enactment of Auschwitz with children dressed as prisoners being gassed, local media reported.
