Roald Dahl Museum announces steps to address legacy of author's racism

Roald Dahl's racism's been called 'undeniable' by the Buckinghamshire museum in his name.

The author's family apologised in 2020 for 'antisemitic comments' he'd made - saying they stand in 'marked contrast' to the man they knew.

The museum in Great Missenden has issued a statement on its website saying it "condemns all racism directed at any group or individual".

The statement said: “We saw there was an opportunity to support teaching in primary school through developing Key Stage 2 resources exploring children’s rights through the experiences of Roald Dahl’s child heroes. 

“We believe that free resources that help people understand universal, inalienable rights is a constructive way to help combat prejudice.”
