Belgian public TV mocks the Holocaust (video) (update)

Joods Actueel reports that VRT, the public Flemish-language broadcaster of Belgium, featured in its satirical program The Ideal World (“De Ideale Wereld”)  a spoof using footage from Schindler's List making fun of the anticipated shortage of Cent Wafers, manufactured in Ukraine.

In the  parody broadcast on April 7, called "Schindler's Shopping List," Oskar Schindler, who during World War II saved more than a thousand Jews in his factory in Poland, is presented as the founder of a biscuit factory where Cent Wafers are produced by his Jewish employees. Instead of despairing over saving lives, Schindler in the spoof despairs over saving cookies. He curses the doomed Jewish child as having taken the last pack of the wafers.

In the final scene, instead of placing stones on Schindler's grave, the Jews in Israel place Cent Wafers.

Christian and Jewish groups in Belgium denounced the video.

VRT has attacked Jews before. 

This is an outrageous trivialization of the Holocaust, done with Belgian tax money.

UPDATE: VRT has apologized and removed the video from their social media blog but left the full program including the Schindler parody on their site. (h/t Rudi)
