‘We are very sorry’: Why KFC has apologised for crispy chicken
Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) has issued an apology after sending a promotional message to customers in Germany urging them to commemorate the Kristallnacht anti-Jewish pogrom
Berlin: KFC has been forced to apologise after sending a notification to German customers encouraging them to commemorate the Kristallnacht anti-Jewish pogrom with fried chicken and cheese.
The fast-food chain sent a notification on Wednesday suggesting customers "treat themselves" on the anniversary of the 1938 Kristallnacht, or Night of Broken Glass, the Bild Daily reported.
On 9 November 1938, Nazi mobs torched and ransacked synagogues and Jewish-owned businesses across Germany in what is widely seen as the start of the Third Reich's drive to wipe out Jews.
"Commemoration of Kristallnacht — Treat yourself to more soft cheese and crispy chicken. Now at KFCheese!" the message reportedly read.

"We are very sorry, we will check our internal processes immediately so that this does not happen again. Please excuse this error," the message said.
