The editors, blaming "internal failures," admitted they had not read an ad supplement that said American Jews support "thieves and arsonists" and compared BLM protesters to Nazis.
Editors at The Miami Herald and its sister Spanish-language newspaper, El Nuevo Herald, apologized to readers this week for including a Spanish-language insert that said American Jews support"thieves and arsonists" and compared Black Lives Matter protesters to Nazis.
The column's author, Roberto Luque Escalona, wrote in Spanish that Jewish Americans always talk about the Holocaust, but questioned whether they'd forgot Kristalllnacht, the name given to the events of Nov. 9 and 10, 1938, when German Nazis carried out violent raids in Jewish communities, destroying Jewish-owned businesses, and arresting and killing Jews.

Story continues“It is one of a series of internal failures that we are investigating in order to prevent this from ever recurring,” they wrote."The fact that no one in leadership, beginning with us, had previously read this advertising insert until this issue was surfaced by a reader is distressing."
