White House and Holocaust historians condemn Fox host's controversial remarks diminishing suffering under Nazi genocide

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld made controversial comments about Jews in Nazi concentration camps needing to be "useful" to survive.
Gutfeld made the remarks while discussing Florida's new curriculum referring to slaves developing skills for personal benefit.
The White House called Gutfeld's comments "horrid, dangerous lies" that insult the memory of Holocaust victims.
The Auschwitz Memorial explained that while some Jews used skills to prolong life, it did not guarantee protection from gas chambers.
Holocaust survivors and Jewish groups condemned Gutfeld for perpetuating conspiracy theories diminishing the murder of six million Jews.
