The Trump administration has removed several Biden-appointed members from the US Holocaust Memorial Council, drawing criticism from Doug Emhoff, husband of Vice President Kamala Harris. Emhoff, who champions Holocaust education and the fight against antisemitism, criticized the decision as politicizing a grave historical atrocity. He stressed that Holocaust remembrance should remain nonpartisan and vowed to continue his advocacy against hate. Alongside Emhoff, other notable Biden appointees were also dismissed, highlighting a broader pattern of political maneuvering surrounding important cultural institutions.
Emhoff described the move as a political decision that turned one of the worst atrocities in history into a wedge issue, stating it dishonors the memory of six million Jews.
Emhoff emphasized that Holocaust remembrance and education should never be politicized, expressing determination not to allow divisive decisions to shake his commitment to combat hate.
