Bluesfest's Nazi slur to Holocaust survivors' granddaughter who criticised line-up

The organisers of Byron Bay's Bluesfest have apologised after comparing a woman to a Nazi because she criticised the festival's lack of female artists.

 

The woman, Simone Genziuk, is Jewish and the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors.

 

Ms Genziuk messaged Bluesfest on Facebook after the announcement of the first line-up of performers at next year's festival.

 

"Looks like a sausage fest, where's the chicks?" she said.

 

The question was met with the following response from Bluesfest:

 

"You attacking events without doing any research on them and starting a media campaign based on your own isms and schisms is the sort of thing that worked well in Nazi Germany.

 

Find someone to attack because you have a screw loose.

 

Bet you are an under or unemployed white privileged nobody with too much time on your hands.

 

Going nowhere fast into a life of depression and loneliness due to you having nothing meaningful to justify why you continue to breathe.

 

The chicks are running Bluesfest Simi. Or whomever non de plume you are hiding behind. They outnumber men in the company four to one, and they manage too.

 

Oh….bet you didn't take the time to find that out. Before you started with your bullshit."
