BNP Paribas’ Hitler Reference In Training Video Offends Employees, Prompts Apology
Posted in: Today's ChiliOne bank is in hot water with some of its employees after they were reportedly shown a video depicting a rival bank’s CEO as Hitler.
About 100 managers at BNP Paribas were shown a video featuring a parody of a scene from the 2004 German movie “Downfall” that transformed the Hitler character into the head of BNP’s German rival Deutsche Bank, France 24 reports.
BNP Paribas didn’t immediately return a request for comment from The Huffington Post. A spokeswoman told France 24 that the company’s CEO called Deutsche Bank’s chief to apologize and that senior management was unaware of the video until a news outlet brought it to their attention. In addition, the executive responsible for the video no longer works at the bank, the spokeswoman told France 24, but she wouldn’t say if the executive had stepped down or was fired.
