Roald Dahl’s Anti-Semitism Was Grotesque

Last month, Netflix announced that it had bought the rights to Roald Dahl’s children’s books from the late author’s family. As well as controlling film and television productions, it will produce stage shows, spin-off games and, for all we know, a Roald Dahl theme park where eager visitors can experience Charlie’s chocolate factory, the BFG or Matilda dancing with the witches. While the exact cost hasn’t been revealed, we can assume the sum to be large: in 2019 alone the Dahl estate earned £26m from the author’s works.
