When people talk about the Holocaust, they talk about the tragedy and horror of 6 million Jewish lives being lost to the Nazi war machine. But they never mention the thousands of Gypsies that were killed by the Nazis.
The Guardian quoted Olivia Marks-Woldman, chief executive of the UK's Holocaust Memorial Day Trust: "We are absolutely appalled at Jimmy Carr’s comment. ... Hundreds of thousands of Roma and Sinti people suffered prejudice, slave labour, sterilisation and mass murder simply because of their identity – these are not experiences for mockery"
