I'm sure he didn't as right below that he states:

"Tarantino was smart enough to stay out of the concentration camps in Inglorious but not here. It tries to have the cartoon slap-stick violence co-exist here with the brutal slavery depictions. As a result, there's an off-putting dissonance to the flick."

And this is the main reason why I don't wanna see it
