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.”
