	The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum
		The Museum's message that support for Jews is the sole measure of decency during the Second World War leads to anomalies which, in an American museum raised on ground hallowed to the principles of liberty on which this republic is based, can only be called shocking.
		That the US Holocaust Memorial Council is aware of the work of revisionist scholars is clear: the Council's literature is replete, not with substantive refutations of revisionist scholarship, but with slander and polemic.
		The US Holocaust Memorial Museum, and the Council that runs it, as agencies of the government in which the American people is sovereign, must be removed from the special interest that now controls it.

		The importance of preserving memory and instilling the significant events of World War II relating to the tragedy of the Holocaust moved to the forefront in the minds of survivors as well as historians.
		Members on the United Sates Holocaust Memorial Council were worried that if the museum was not created in the nation’s capital, in the heart of the country, it would be perceived as a "Jewish museum" and its national purpose would be wrongly overlooked.

		He felt that relatively open simple cases permitted a strong emotional interaction between the museum visitor and the artifacts, and made it clear that the artifacts were props within the overall story of the Holocaust Museum, sharing their place with the signage and video monitors placed throughout the galleries.
		For example, prior to opening the Museum, the four thousand shoes from Majdanek required extensive cleaning, During their one year on exhibit, the shoes have developed a more extensive layer of dust than when they were first received at the Museum, requiring yet another round of cleaning.
		With each new acquisition, the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum recommits itself to the preservation and conservation of a special piece of history so that, when the voices of the donors telling their stories can no longer be heard, the artifacts and records remain to bear witness.

	Calling on the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

		While Yad Vashem, Israel's Holocaust Museum, is discussing the German-Arab ties, and while Encyclopedia of the Holocaust devotes more space to the Mufti of Jerusalem than to any other Nazi leader except Hitler, the USHMM is covering its eyes and ears unashamedly ignoring historical facts.
