**Washington, D.C. –** President Donald Trump has dismissed several nominees to the United States Holocaust Memorial Council, appointed by his predecessor Joe Biden. Among those dismissed are Doug Emhoff, husband of former Vice President Kamala Harris, and former Biden administration officials Ron Klain and Susan Rice.
Mr. Emhoff, who is Jewish and a prominent voice against antisemitism, strongly condemned the move, calling the politicization of Holocaust remembrance “dangerous” and “dishonoring” to the victims. Ms. Rice was instrumental in creating the first National Strategy to Combat Antisemitism in 2023.
The White House has yet to comment on the dismissals. This action is part of a broader pattern by President Trump of removing Biden appointees from various government positions, including those considered non-political. While President Biden also dismissed some Trump appointees upon taking office, the scale was significantly smaller. The dismissals have ignited controversy and renewed debate about the politicization of sensitive historical events.
