  • Fox News is facing fresh backlash after one of its hosts made comments about concentration camp victims' work skills. 
  • Greg Gutfeld said that those in the work camps with skills survived during the Holocaust — a clear simplification.
  • "Being skilled or useful did not spare them from the horrors of the gas chambers," the Auschwitz memorial said in response. 

Fox News is facing a slew of backlash after one of its primetime hosts suggested that Holocaust survivors who had work skills survived in concentration camps. 

On an episode of "The Five" Monday, Greg Gutfeld referenced a book by Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl and said "you had to survive in a concentration camp by having skills. You had to be useful… Utility kept you alive."
