Holocaust survivors recently interviewed on CBC News Sunday said they felt betrayed when a segment they appeared in also featured the controversial Norman Finkelstein.
They say that unbeknownst to them, a debate then followed between Finkelstein and University of Toronto historian and Holocaust expert Michael Marrus on what forms Holocaust commemoration should take.
“They kept that secret from us,” Cohen said.
In a letter to the CBC, Cohen said that “had we known this, we would have refused to appear on your show.”
Stuart Coxe, executive producer of CBC News Sunday, described Finkelstein’s appearance as “a programming decision,” and that any offense caused was “inadvertent.”
