The author of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” – the man who said Hitler had a reason to target the Jews – was ruthless to say, according to the man’s own family.
Roald Dahl, A massively successful author who also wrote “Matilda,” “The BFG” and “The Witches”, who said in a 1983 interview, “There is a trait in the Jewish character that incites hatred. Perhaps it is one of generosity. The type is towards non-Jews. I mean there is always a crop of anything for any reason. “
And after that, he said this … “Even stinkers like Hitler didn’t like him for no reason.”
Practice what he preaches … Dahl’s screenplay for ‘Chitti Chitti Bang Bang’ features a big-nosed child snatcher … an anti-Semitic trope, which Dahl seems to have embraced.
Even though he died 30 years ago, his anti-Semitism is now swirling, causing his family to issue Maya Kalpa.
The family said they deeply apologize for the permanent and perceived grief caused by some of Roald Dahl’s statements. That biased comment is incomprehensible to us and contradicts the man we knew and with values at the heart of Ralph Dahl’s stories, which have had a positive effect on young people from generations to generations. “
The family added, “We hope that those who did their best, at their worst, can be reminded of the lasting impact of Roald Dahl’s words.”
Ann Hathaway, Who is Jewish, is working on a feature film based on Dahal’s book “The Witches”.
