Hunters: Jewish groups criticise Holocaust portrayal in Amazon show
Several Jewish groups have criticised Amazon for fictitious depictions of the Holocaust in its new series Hunters.
The online retail giant has also been denounced for allowing the sale of anti-Semitic propaganda books.
David Weil, the producer of Hunters, has defended the series and Amazon said it was "listening to feedback" about controversial book sales.
Hunters, a 10-part drama series, follows a team of Nazi hunters in 1970s America.
The show, starring Al Pacino, has been accused of bad taste and "Jewsploitation" for its depiction of fictional atrocities during the Holocaust. Around six million Jews were killed across Nazi-occupied Europe during the period from 1941-45.
In one scene, inmates of Auschwitz concentration camp are forced to kill each other while being used in a game of human chess.
Mr Weil, whose grandmother was a Holocaust survivor, said while Hunters was "inspired by true events", it was not a documentary series and never purported to be.
He said he decided to fictionalise events in the series because he did not want to misrepresent the suffering of real people.
"After all, it is true that Nazis perpetrated widespread and extreme acts of sadism and torture - and even incidents of cruel 'games' - against their victims. I simply did not want to depict those specific, real acts of trauma," Mr Weil said.
"If the larger philosophical question is, can we ever tell stories about the Holocaust that are not documentary? I believe we can and should."
