AN OPEN LETTER TO AMERICAN LEADERS AND CITIZENS FROM A COMMUNITY OF SURVIVORS AT THE UNITED STATES HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL MUSEUMWe are 50 Holocaust survivors who volunteer at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. We are proud Americans, eternally grateful to this great nation that became our home after the war and enabled us to live in freedom and rebuild our lives and families. Yet today, our solemn obligation to the memory of those who were murdered in the most destructive eruption of antisemitism the world has ever experienced compels us to write this open letter to our leaders and fellow citizens.We are seeing an alarming confluence of events that we never imagined we would witness in our adopted homeland. We cannot remain silent in the wake of the recent antisemitic attacks in cities and towns across the country. We know firsthand the danger of unchecked antisemitism. This targeted violence is happening as we also watch with great dismay a persistent and increasing tendency in American public life to invoke the Holocaust for the purpose of promoting another agenda.It is deeply painful for us to see our personal history—the systematic destruction of our families and communities and murder of six million Jewish men, women, and children—exploited in this way. What we survived should be remembered, studied, and learned from, but never misused.We thank those leaders in government and other sectors of American society, including business, academia, religious, and civic, who have forcefully rejected antisemitism and the misuse of the Holocaust in our national discourse. We call on all leaders and citizens to do the same.Katie A., survivor from AustriaRalph B., survivor from The NetherlandsRuth C., survivor from CzechoslovakiaFrank C., survivor from GermanyJoan D., survivor from PolandAnia D., survivor from PolandMarcel D., survivor from PolandMaria D., survivor from PolandRuth E., survivor from PolandArye E., survivor from CzechoslovakiaPeter F., survivor from GermanyNinetta F., survivor from GreeceSteven F., survivor from YugoslaviaAllan F., survivor from PolandGideon F., survivor from CzechoslovakiaAlbert G., survivor from FranceAgi G., survivor from HungaryRachel G., survivor from PolandPeter G., survivor from HungaryTamar H., survivor from YugoslaviaJulie K., survivor from PolandMark K., survivor from UkraineTheodora K., survivor from YugoslaviaMaryla K., survivor from PolandLisa K., survivor from ItalyPeter L., survivor from GermanyEstelle L., survivor from PolandLouse L., survivor from The NetherlandsFrank L., survivor from GermanyEmanuel M., survivor from LatviaAlfred M., survivor from The NetherlandsJoel N., survivor from FranceJill P., survivor from GermanyKurt P., survivor from GermanyHalina P., survivor from PolandGeorge P., survivor from HungarySamuel P., survivor from PolandSylvia R., survivor from PolandRita R., survivor from RomaniaGeorge S., survivor from HungaryNat S., survivor from RomaniaAlex S., survivor from FranceRose-Helene S., survivor from FranceEsther S., survivor from GermanyPeter S., survivor from CzechoslovakiaJosie T., survivor from BelgiumSusan W., survivor from GermanyHenry W., survivor from AustriaIrene W., survivor from CzechoslovakiaMartin W., survivor from CzechoslovakiaLast names omitted for personal privacy
