On 21 August, I made a complaint to the BBC, after having heard in the background a programme running after Horizon called ‘Some Scousers With Jokes.’ I received a response to my complaint today, and the programme is no longer available on iplayer to be able to copy out what was said, so I can’t be forensically accurate. My recall is the gist was a joke about a Jewish Girl during the second world war begging for safety, and in return the man asked for sex from her, and the punchline something about whether to tell her the war was now over. I complained that it was in poor taste and unhelpful to make holocaust related jokes. I remember the fear of my family in the stories they told me of their escapes and horrible experiences of loss and undignified treatment. I am somewhat perturbed by the BBC response. I expected a simple apology, and would then have thought nothing of the event. Instead, they replied that since the holocaust was never mentioned it was not a holocaust related joke.
