Dear Mr. Zeidman:


We have been donors to the Holocaust Museum ever since we visited there shortly after the Memorial Center opened. Now, I learn of the indifference of the Museum's officials to the virulent Arab anti-Semitism that threatens the security of Jews around the world in that it does not sponsor any programs, exhibitions, etc., on this subject. A widespread attitude among today's intellectual and cultural elite is to treat Islam with reverence and deference. The HM must rise above this cliché and show the world where and how Islamic fundamentalism targets the Jews for hatred and destruction. Its goal should be to help squash this vicious trend through public awareness and education programs. It's insufficient to just single out Darfur and elsewhere as regions of genocidal risk. The Museum must muster the courage to play a key role in exposing the current wave of Nazi-like propaganda intended by large factions of the Islamic world to spread hatred and attacks against the Jewish community.


Sincerely,
Stanley Klein
