Professor: Carter said ‘Too Many Jews’ on Holocaust Council, Saw as ‘Political Gimmick’
We spoke to the former Executive Director of the Holocaust Memorial Council, Monroe Freedman, who confirmed a WorldNetDaily report that he had received a note from Jimmy Carter complaining that there were “too many Jews” on the Holocaust Memorial Council. Professor Freedman also said that Carter’s support for the Holocaust Memorial Council was “principally a political gimmick” based on getting political support from Jews.

Professor Freedman, now a law professor at Hofstra University, also confirmed that a respected Holocaust scholar was rejected as a board member by Carter’s office because the scholar’s name “sounded too Jewish”—although he was a Presbyterian Christian. Mr. Freedman told us that the WND account was “entirely accurate” except that Elie Wiesel, not Freedman himself, had selected the board members.

What’s next? Too many Catholics electing Pope?
