A public broadcaster in France is being criticised for airing a Belgian comedian’s joke about the Holocaust.
France 2 aired the joke by Laura Laune, 31, on Friday in its 8 p.m. news programme. A winner of the 2017 season of “France’s Got Talent,” she was seen saying on stage: “What do training shoes and Jews have in common? They’re more common in 39 than in 45.”
Six million Jews were murdered in the Holocaust in Europe during World War II. The flattering profile reportage on Laune noted her “boldness” and her popularity in the stand-up comedy scene in France.
