see holocaust exhibit at the museum about the african-american experience. it is deeply offensive to appropriate our persecution to score cheap political points masquerading as intersectionality holocaust. the story from 0 of the new exhibition reflects a dangerous trend of equating other events to the atrocities of the holocaust. the death of george floyd compared to the how of course. i mean, that's absurd, totally absurd and totally inappropriate today. especially in the western world. the major problem that we face one of the major problems is of course, how, of course, distortion. how, of course, distortion is not to deny that the tragedy of the scope of the holocaust took place . but to change the narrative of the holocaust in many cases to hide. 9 the involvement of people other than the german and austrian, nazis, and this attempt to universalize the holocaust is a very dangerous phenomenon as well. and this is a classic example. not every tragedy is the how honest that every tragedy in the holocaust or should the holocaust be compared to 2. far less

holocaust exhibit at the museum about the african-american experience. it is deeply offensive to appropriate our persecution to score cheap political points masquerading as intersectionality. i'm happy to welcome on to the program. dr. efraim zuroff nazi hunter and holocaust historian speaking to us today from jerusalem. welcome to you. putting george floyd in a holocaust exhibition was not appropriate. in my opinion, it's totally inappropriate. because there is no way that you can compare the tragedy of george floyd and the issue of police protests, discrimination against afro americans and police brutality in the united states. with the crimes of the 3rd states of america is a country that lives by a rule of law. of course, there are mistakes made and very unfortunate mistakes which have a price. but the death of george floyd compared to the holocaust. i mean that's absurd, totally absurd. and totally inappropriate give any sympathy for the museum may have been trying to perhaps make people understand history. it's sometimes necessary to give them a mo

let me give a salute to michael chertoff, who i have known from the holocaust museum and also to secretary napolitano. i wish you were still president of the university of california because i'm on the board at ucsd , but more importantly, my daughter is at berkeley and i would like her to check in on how her studies are going. maybe she still has that influence. bill, you struggled with the word ascertainment because it is not supposed to be a word that is commonly known because the issue of ascertaining the winner of an election has never been controversial, never been politicized. there is a provision in the 1963 presidential transition act which gives the gsa administrator the responsibility of ascertaining the outcome of the election. there are many other government agencies that have similar responsibilities to act when there is a new president-elect. the secret service on saturday morning significantly expanded their protection around president-elect biden because he was going to be president-elect biden. so that was not a politicized decision, the secret service just did that. unfo

holocaust memorial museum. i am daniel greene, curator of americans and the holocaust. we decided on our 25th anniversary to look very closely in american's role in this history. that goes back to our founding charter, which mandated that the museum look very closely at american's role in this history. in fact, on the day we opened, the chairman of the board at the time said, this museum is not an answer. it is a question. what we wanted to do in this exhibition is asked difficult questions about americans response to nazism. the questions that frame this exhibition are, what did americans know and what more could have been done? you will see throughout the exhibition that what we try to do is show the context of american history that shaped americans responses to nazism. that context includes our isolationism in the aftermath of world war i. gina phobia, fear of immigrants, racism, jim crow america, antisemitism in the united states. then, we are responding to nazism amidst the context of the great depression and war. and so, in this exhibition, we are always trying to
