On May 5, President Donald Trump named Siggy Flicker and four additional individuals to serve on the board overseeing the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. These appointments replace members previously appointed by President Joe Biden.
Flicker’s appointment means she will serve in the role for five years.
Trump’s decision to remove Biden’s appointees has drawn criticism, as it politicizes a previously nonpartisan institution.
The Anti-Defamation League emphasizes the need for unity in preserving historical truth amid rising antisemitism, stating that Holocaust remembrance should not be politicized.
