In response to the recent use of Nazi era uniforms and the Nazi salute at a public event in Hong Kong and subsequent insensitive reporting by local journalists, the Hong Kong Holocaust and Tolerance Centre (HKHTC) has taken proactive steps to address the highly disrespectful and problematic situation, to avoid any repetition.
Working in collaboration with relevant media parties, the HKHTC has committed to providing Cantonese-language educational workshops for their editorial team. These workshops, scheduled to take place this month, will focus on enhancing awareness of the Holocaust and antisemitism, aiming to improve sensitivity and understanding among media professionals. The HKHTC plans to offer regular, ongoing training and workshops as a follow-up to these initial sessions.
The media company concerned has issued a public apology and removed the offensive content from its platform. In addition to this, the Hong Kong Journalists’ Association (HKJA) has also reiterated the importance of responsible reporting and reminded all major online media outlets to exercise extra caution during live broadcasts to prevent similar incidents.
The HKHTC strongly condemns all forms of prejudice, intolerance, and discrimination, reaffirming that such behaviour is unacceptable in Hong Kong, a diverse, inclusive and law-abiding society.
