Whoopi Goldberg has returned to The View on Monday, February 14, after her two-week suspension...
The Ghost star found herself in hot water following some very controversial comments about the Holocaust.
The 66-year-old actress said on the show that the Nazi genocide of the Jews in the 1940s was "not about race" as it involved "two groups of white people".
Goldberg received instant pushback from her co-hosts, as well as from the Anti-Defamation League, the Auschwitz Memorial, and the Holocaust Museum.
Watch Whoopi Goldberg's return right here:Goldberg - who has been on the ABC talk show since 2007 - also argued that the Holocaust was about "man's inhumanity to man".
"If you're going to do this, now let's be truthful about it because the Holocaust isn't about race," she said on the talk show. "No. It's not about race."
Six million Jews were murdered in the Holocaust by the Nazi party, who believed themselves to be part of an Aryan master race.
Greeting viewers in her first show back on Valentine's Day, Goldberg said: "Welcome to The View and yes, I am back."
"I missed you all. There's something kind of marvelous about being on a show like this… Sometimes we don't do it as elegantly as we could… but it's five minutes to get in important information about topics," she told viewers.
"But it's five minutes to get in important information about topics. And that's what we try to do every day," she went on.
"And I want to thank everybody who reached out while I was away, and I'm telling you people reached out from places that made me go, 'Wait, wait, what? Really?' And it was amazing. And I listened to everything everybody had to say. And I was very grateful."
The Sister Act star continued: "We're going to keep having tough conversations, in part because that's what we've been hired to do. It's not always pretty. It's not always as other people would like to hear.
"But it's an honor to sit at this table and be able to have these conversations because they're important to us as a nation and as a human entity."
She concluded by saying: "Happy Valentine's Day, y'all."
Following the backlash that she received immediately after the comments were made last month, the TV personality took to Twitter to apologize.
"On today’s show. I said the Holocaust 'is not about race, but about man’s inhumanity to man.' I should have said it is about both," she wrote, before quoting Jonathan Greenblatt's words about the systematic persecution of Jews by the Nazis, who considered them "an inferior race."
"I stand corrected," she added.
"The Jewish people around the world have always had my support and that will never waiver. I’m sorry for the hurt I have caused," the Sister Act star concluded, before signing off: "Written with my sincerest apologies."
Goldberg has since made another two public apologies.
