Do you know who Nathan Fielder is? If you don’t, you will now.
The comedian behind Comedy Central’s hit, appeared on the Conan O’Brien show and left the host in stitches. Conan questioned Fielder on his choice to wear a windbreaker on the show, only to find out that after a decade of wearing a jacket by Taiga, a Vancouver-based company that had paid tribute to a well known Holocaust-denier, the comic has created Summit Ice, an outerwear company of his own to promote Holocaust awareness.
We went on Summit Ice’s website — looks like it’s a legitimate venture.

All jokes aside, 100 percent of the proceeds from the nonprofit go to the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre in Vancouver, Canada.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a Passover gift today!
