Bacon Reappointed to U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council

Washington – Rep. Don Bacon (NE-02) today announced he was reappointed to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council. The Council serves as the board of trustees for the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, the nation’s official memorial to those who died during the Holocaust. The Museum is dedicated to the documentation, study, and interpretation of Holocaust history and to confronting genocide and antisemitism worldwide.

Since opening in Washington, D.C., in 1993, the Museum has helped educate more than 50 million visitors, including 11 million school-age children, about the Holocaust and threats of genocide around the world.

“It is an honor to continue serving on the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council,” said Rep. Bacon. “The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum is a great institution that ensures we never forget the six million Jews who were murdered during the Holocaust and the millions who have suffered from antisemitism and continue to face it today. At a time when antisemitism is rising around the world, its mission is more important than ever. We must confront hatred wherever it appears and remain committed to the principle of ‘Never Again.’ I will continue to be a strong advocate and supporter of the Museum and its vital work.”
