The D.C. Holocaust Museum has little to do with the Holocaust. It’s not a Jewish institution, it’s a political institution, and if you doubt that, take a look at its board, which consists of political appointees looking for something to add to their LinkedIn profiles. Now there’s outrage because the previous set of appointees is being shown to the door.
The Trump administration has begun firing at least some of former President Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s appointees to the board that oversees the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, including Douglas Emhoff, the husband of former Vice President Kamala Harris, and other senior Biden White House officials.
“Today, I was informed of my removal from the United States Holocaust Memorial Council,” Mr. Emhoff said in a statement on Tuesday. “Holocaust remembrance and education should never be politicized. 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 that this museum was created to preserve.”
Doug Emhoff is as Jewish as a ham sandwich and the only notable thing about the press release is that it did got the number of Holocaust victims right, which considering how badly he botched the story of Chanukah and virtually every Jewish event proves someone else must have written it for him.
Holocaust remembrance shouldn’t be politicised. Which is why Kamala’s hubby, who has no Jewish connections or ties beyond the memory of his grandmother’s brisket that he keeps bringing up at every Jewish event, shouldn’t have been on the board. Neither should most of these people.
The other officials who were dismissed include Ron Klain, Mr. Biden’s first chief of staff; Tom Perez, the former labor secretary and senior adviser to Mr. Biden; Susan Rice, the national security adviser to former President Barack Obama and Mr. Biden’s top domestic policy adviser who led a major national strategic effort to counter antisemitism; and Anthony Bernal, a senior adviser to Jill Biden, the former first lady.
Tom Perez? Susan Rice? Neither are Jewish or have any obvious connection to the Holocaust. Jill Biden’s senior adviser? This is beyond ridiculous. Then again the same holds true for nearly everyone on the board including Bernie Sanders: the leading congressional advocate for a second Holocaust.
Good catch Daniel !!!
