"The museum pulled from its website a page called 'Teaching Materials on Nazism and Jim Crow' that provided lesson plans and resources about the connections between American de jure racism and the Nazi regime."
"Leaders at the museum renamed a one-day civic education workshop designed for college students from 'Fragility of Democracy and the Rise of the Nazis' to 'Before the Holocaust: German Society and the Nazi Rise to Power.'"
"Since taking office, Trump has tightened his grip on the USHMM, purging several of President Joe Biden's appointees from its board and installing his own loyalists."
The museum removed a webpage on Nazism and Jim Crow that included lesson plans linking American racism to the Nazi regime. A related video featuring a Holocaust survivor was made unlisted. Additionally, a civic education workshop was renamed to avoid negative perceptions of the term 'fragility.' These changes occurred amid increased political influence from the Trump administration, which has reshaped the museum's board by replacing previous appointees with loyalists, raising concerns about independence and educational integrity.
