Roald Dahl Museum says the author’s anti-Semitic views are “undeniable and indelible”

Dahl is known for his children's classics like 'The BFG', 'Matilda', 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' among other books, which have sold over 300 million copies and adapted for the screen numerous times. But while the author is much-loved for his creative works, his racist and anti-Semitic views continue to be condemned by the people.
