Lee Lipton on Holocaust Memorial Council

After firing former second gentleman Douglas Emhoff and seven other Biden-era members from the US Holocaust Memorial Council, Donald Trump announced in May that he had finalized the 14 new appointments.

"I am pleased to announce that the Board of the Holocaust Memorial Council has been completely formed: Siggy Flicker, Tila Falic, Jackie Zeckman, Rabbi Nate Segal, Jonathan Burkan, Lee Lipton, Betty Schwartz, Fred Marcus, Rabbi Pinchos Lipschutz, Sid Rosenberg, Ariel Abergel, Barbara Feingold, Alex Witkoff, and Robert Garson," he wrote on Truth Social.

"They are all strong supporters of Israel, and will ensure we NEVER FORGET. Congratulations to all!"
