Trump Removes Biden Appointees From Holocaust Council

President Trump has removed several Biden-era appointees, including former second gentleman Doug Emhoff, from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council, which oversees the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. Emhoff, who is Jewish and known for his advocacy against antisemitism, criticized the move as politicizing Holocaust remembrance and dishonoring its victims. Other removed appointees include Ron Klain, Tom Perez, Susan Rice, and Anthony Bernal. The Trump administration stated it intends to appoint new council members who are steadfast supporters of Israel. Critics claim the firings break with tradition and could make Holocaust education more partisan. The museum has not directly addressed the dismissals but reiterated its commitment to its mission.
