Roald Dahl Museum Condemns Author's Indelible Racism and Antisemitism
The Roald Dahl Museum in England has acknowledged the author's "undeniable and indelible" racism, particularly his openly antisemitic views. The museum fully supports the apology released by the Dahl family and Roald Dahl Story Company in 2020, condemning all racism. While the museum does not publicly repeat Dahl's antisemitic statements, it keeps a record of them in its collection. The museum aims to highlight Dahl's creative legacy while acknowledging his darker side. The acknowledgment has been welcomed by organizations within the Jewish community, who hope to work with the museum to raise awareness and educate about anti-Jewish hate.
