A prominent Antisemitism campaign group has demanded that Amazon remove a film that they claim minimises the Holocaust.

The Simon Wiesenthal Centre (SWC) has sent a letter to Amazon Prime calling on them to remove the Bollywood film, Bawaal from their site.

Bawaal, released last Friday, has been called the “most insensitive film of the year,” for reducing the Holocaust to a plot device.

Rabbi Abraham Cooper, the SWC’s Director of Social Action, said: “Nitesh Tiwari [the director]  trivialises and demeans the memory of six million murdered Jews and millions of others who suffered at the hands of Hitlers Genocidal regime”.
