President Trump dismissed several members of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council, including Doug Emhoff, following a trend of removing Biden appointees. Emhoff condemned the firings as politicizing Holocaust remembrance, stating it endangers the legacy of the six million Jews murdered by Nazis. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt indicated Trump seeks new appointees supportive of Israel. The email informing dismissed members was sent by Mary Sprowls of the Presidential Personnel Office. Council member Senator Jacky Rosen criticized the dismissals as politicizing education about the Holocaust, stressing it should remain nonpartisan.
