News Release
January 27, 2009
Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau
Chairman, Yad Vashem
Yad Vashem – The Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Authority
Jerusalem, Israel
Dear Rabbi Lau:
As you may know, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum recently installed materials acknowledging the efforts by the Emergency Committee to Save the Jewish People of Europe (the Bergson Group) to promote the rescue of Jews during the Holocaust. The new materials in the U.S. museum include a photograph of the march by 400 rabbis to the White House, which the Bergson Group and the Va’ad ha-Hatzala organized in 1943.
We respectfully urge Yad Vashem to do likewise.
The rabbis’ march was the only rally for rescue of Europe’s Jews that was held in the nation’s capital during the Holocaust. The march and the Bergson Group’s other protests –rallies, lobbying in Washington, and hundreds of newspaper advertisements– helped shatter the silence surrounding the Holocaust, and put pressure on the Roosevelt administration to take rescue action. These efforts played an important role in bringing about the creation of the U.S. government’s War Refugee Board, which helped save more than 200,000 Jews from Hitler. The War Refugee Board’s efforts included financing the life-saving work of Raoul Wallenberg in Budapest.
Yad Vashem already includes material pertaining to various aspects of the Allies’ disappointing response to the Holocaust, including the sham Evian refugee conference; the voyage of the S.S. St. Louis; and the Allies’ failure to bomb Auschwitz.
Visitors to Yad Vashem need to know that although too many people were silent during the Holocaust, there were some who spoke out. Publicizing this fact can help inspire future generations to speak out against injustice.
Sincerely,
Rabbi Haskel Lookstein Rabbi Benyamin Kamenetzky
