"We would ask the BBC to explain why someone who defended the desecration of a memorial to the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising has been invited to speak on a programme about the rise of the Nazis. Given the outrage her comments have caused, the invitation by the programme makers seems both insensitive and provocative."
— Ash Sarkar

In a tweet (September 2018), Sarkar had defended two individuals responsible for the vandalism of a surviving wall of the Warsaw Ghetto as "not antisemitic. They’re anti-racist". On the wall, they had spray painted "free Gaza and Palestine, liberate all ghettos". Sarkar's participation in a BBC documentary series Rise of the Nazis was contentious.
