Channel 4 criticised for Jimmy Carr show involving Hitler painting
A new Channel 4 show in which a studio audience will decide whether comedian Jimmy Carr should destroy a painting by Adolf Hitler has been criticised.
The channel has bought works by Hitler and other " problematic" artists to be used in Jimmy Carr Destroys Art.
The Show is intended to debate whether it is possible to separate a piece of art from its controversial creator.
But the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust called it " deeply inappropriate" and said Carr was an " inflammatory" host.
Earlier this Year , in his latest Netflix stand-up special.
The Channel 4 show, to be screened later this month, is also expected to feature artworks by Rolf Harris , the former entertainer who was found guilty of the sexual assault of underage girls, and sexual abuser Eric Gill .
Channel 4 's director of programming that Carr would host a televised debate about what to do with the pieces in question.
" There are advocates for each piece of art, " He Said . " So you've got an advocate for Hitler. There'll be someone arguing not for Hitler, but for the fact that his moral character should not decide whether or not a piece of art exists or not. "
'Dangerously trivialising'But Holocaust Memorial Day Trust chief executive Olivia Marks-Woldman said: " There is nothing entertaining or laughable about Hitler or the murder of six million Jews, and the persecution of millions more. "
The Show was making the Nazi leader " a topic of light entertainment" She Said , adding: " This is deeply inappropriate, and at a time of increasing Holocaust distortion, dangerously trivialising.
" The question of how far art can be linked to its creators is an important one, but this programme is simply a stunt for Shock Value , and cannot excuse the trivialisation of The Horrors of Nazism. "
Channel 4 has Not Yet responded to her comments.
Ms Marks-Woldman added: " Choosing Jimmy Carr to front this episode is deliberately provocative and inflammatory given his history. "
The Comedian did not publicly comment on the backlash he faced over his Holocaust routine earlier this Year .
