The Trump administration has fired multiple Biden appointees from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's board, including Doug Emhoff, who was pivotal in addressing antisemitism. The terminations were confirmed via email without detailed explanations, amid the 80th anniversary of Dachau's liberation. Emhoff condemned the firings, emphasizing the importance of non-partisan Holocaust remembrance. The White House indicated Trump plans to appoint new members and highlighted a desire for individuals supportive of Israel.
To turn one of the worst atrocities in history into a wedge issue is dangerous and it dishonors the memory of six million Jews murdered by Nazis.
Holocaust remembrance and education should never be politicized... and we must preserve this memory free from partisan interests, especially given the anniversary of Dachau's liberation.
