Museum urged to expose Arab anti-Semitism

The grand mufti of Jerusalem made an alliance with Adolf Hitler during World War II. Yet, visitors to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., will learn nothing about it. Some Jewish activists want to change that. The locally based Holocaust Museum Watch is urging the museum to take a leadership role in exposing Arab and Muslim anti-Semitism both during the Holocaust and in the present day. The absence of programs or information on the topic is a 'dereliction of duty' by the facility, HMWatch chair Carol Greenwald of Chevy Chase charged last week, speaking during a forum at Ohev Sholom Talmud Torah in the District.
