2020–21 Annual Report 2020–21 ANNUAL REPORT UNITED STATES HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL MUSEUM 2020–21 ANNUAL REPORT ON THE COVER: Supporters who attended virtual Museum events around the country in recent months encountered these words. In the midst of a pandemic and rising manifestations of antisemitism and hate, they reminded us of our timeless mission. We hope they inspire you and give you a sense of pride in the work you have made possible. Dear Friends, The Museum has always brought together people from all walks of life. The Hall of Witness buzzed with voices young and old, from all corners of the country and the globe. Yet, for most of the past year, the building was silent. But thankfully the conversations and education did not stop. Because, as we know, antisemitism and hate did not stop. And we can’t ever stop what the pandemic forced us to do: make each impactful moment within the Museum walls available outside of them—from teacher training, to leadership programs and scholarly exchange, and especially learning from survivors. After all, you rarely see a young person today without a smartphone, which makes it essential for us to reach them where they are. For those of us who grew up with encyclopedias and card catalogues, seeing history presented in a dynamic digital format is intriguing; for younger generations, it’s expected. The past year has not changed what we teach—the lessons of the Holocaust and the dangers of unchecked hate are more urgent than ever. But it did transform how we teach, how we conduct research, and how we gather. The immense challenges we faced made us stronger and more innovative. But we couldn’t have done it without you. Our goal is to ensure we are not leaving anyone behind: Teachers who never could have come to Washington are attending virtual training—do all teachers know about the opportunity? Our Facebook Live public programs are viewed about 375,000 times every month—what other topics and platforms can help us reach even more people? Even though the Museum has reopened and the Hall of Witness again buzzes with visitors, our expanded work will continue to grow and reach new audiences, as it must, especially in light of rising antisemitism and other forms of hatred. The Holocaust may have receded in time, but it has not receded in relevance—and never will. Thank you for trusting us to meet the challenges and opportunities each new year will bring. Howard M.

  • The Sexual Politics of Meat by Carol J. Adams
    THE SEXUAL POLITICS OF MEAT A FEMINISTVEGETARIAN CRITICAL THEORY Praise for The Sexual Politics of Meat and Carol J. Adams “A clearheaded scholar joins the ideas of two movements—vegetari- anism and feminism—and turns them into a single coherent and moral theory. Her argument is rational and persuasive. New ground—whole acres of it—is broken by Adams.” —Colman McCarthy, Washington Post Book World “Th e Sexual Politics of Meat examines the historical, gender, race, and class implications of meat culture, and makes the links between the prac tice of butchering/eating animals and the maintenance of male domi nance. Read this powerful new book and you may well become a vegetarian.” —Ms. “Adams’s work will almost surely become a ‘bible’ for feminist and pro gressive animal rights activists. Depiction of animal exploita- tion as one manifestation of a brutal patriarchal culture has been explored in two [of her] books, Th e Sexual Politics of Meat and Neither Man nor Beast: Feminism and the Defense of Animals. Adams argues that factory farming is part of a whole culture of oppression and insti- tutionalized violence. Th e treatment of animals as objects is parallel to and associated with patriarchal society’s objectifi cation of women, blacks, and other minorities in order to routinely exploit them. Adams excels in constructing unexpected juxtapositions by using the language of one kind of relationship to illuminate another. Employing poetic rather than rhetorical techniques, Adams makes powerful connec- tions that encourage readers to draw their own conclusions.” —Choice “A dynamic contribution toward creating a feminist/animal rights theory.” —Animals’ Agenda “A cohesive, passionate case linking meat-eating to the oppression of animals and women .

  • Opening Statements
    Opening Statements Opening Ceremony Remarks at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Mr. Miles Lerman CHAIRMAN, UNITED STATES HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL COUNCIL UNITED STATES It is proper and most fitting that this conference began with a symbolic ceremony of silent contemplation in the Hall of Remembrance of the Holocaust Memorial Museum where we invoked memory and paid tribute to those who were consumed in the Nazi inferno. Now let me welcome you to the Washington Conference on Holocaust-Era Assets. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is pleased to co-chair with the State Department this historic event. For the next three days representatives of 44 countries will have the opportunity to explore a just and orderly return of confiscated assets to their rightful owners. It took over 50 years for the world to come to grips with the fact that the biggest murder of the century; it was also, as my friend Ben Meed reminds us, the biggest robbery in history. This fact is not limited to one country only. What really shocked the conscience of the world was the discovery that even after the war, some countries tried to gain materially from this cataclysm by refusing to return to the rightful owners what was justly theirs. The refusal to respond to these rightful claims was a great injustice, a moral wrong which can not be ignored. And this is what brings us together today. We are here to make sure that these wrongs are corrected in a just and proper manner. 4 WASHINGTON CONFERENCE ON HOLOCAUST-ERA ASSETS Under Secretary Eizenstat and Edgar Bronfman deserve our gratitude for their unrelenting efforts to bring about full accountability for all wrongs that must be made right.

  • Opening the Archives of the International Tracing Service (ITS) How Did It Happen? What Does It Mean?
    S: I. M. O. N. SHOAH: I NTERVENTION. M ETHODS. DOCUMENTATION. Paul A. Shapiro Opening the Archives of the International Tracing Service (ITS) How did it happen? What does it mean? Abstract The archives of the International Tracing Service in Bad Arolsen, Germany, contains over 50 million World War II era documents relating to the fates of over 17.5 million people. Using samples and case studies, Paul Shapiro, who led the campaign to open the archives, will pro- vide an insider’s view of the years-long effort to open the collections for research and discuss the importance of this recent event for Holocaust survivors, other victims of National Socialism, and scholars. Paul Shapiro is Director of the Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Before joining the Museum, he served in the Bureau of Edu- cational and Cultural Affairs at the United States Information Agency and Department of State, where he was responsible for the Fulbright Fellowship Program and other major inter- national exchange programs. Earlier, he was an Editor of the journal Problems of Commu- nism and Editor in Chief of the Journal of International Affairs. Mr. Shapiro also served as a consultant to the Board for International Broadcasting, Radio Free Europe-Radio Liberty, and the Justice Department’s Office of Special Investigations (OSI). I would like to thank the Vienna Wiesenthal Institute for Holocaust-Studies for inviting me to deliver this third Simon Wiesenthal Lecture. In the 1970s, Simon Wiesenthal and I collaborated, at long distance, in uncovering documentation that led to the removal of citizenship and deportation from the United States of the first fascist leader against whom the United States Justice Department took such action.
