It is not a question of the Holocaust Museum, per se, it is that human genocide has been commandeered by one group for high display, with the use of taxpayer monies, to build and maintain it, to the exclusion of other's who have suffered as much and more, for longer periods of time. TAXPAYERS' HOLOCAUST MUSEUM: The U.S. Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC gets more federal money than the nearby Kennedy Center. The funding first appears in President Clinton's annual budget request, in the same category as funding for the Smithsonian Institution, Kennedy Center, National Gallery of Art and National Endowments for Arts and Humanities, meaning it's part of the "arts" budget. It then goes to the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Interior and Related Agencies. Here are the appropriations for the Holocaust Museum and other agencies: FY 1997: Holocaust Museum $31,272,000 Kennedy Center $19,875,000 Nat'l Gallery of art $59,841,000 FY 1996: Holocaust Museum $28,707,000 Kennedy Center $19,306,000 Nat'l Gallery of art $58,841,000 FY 1995: Holocaust Museum $26,609,000 Kennedy Center $19,306,000 Nat'l Gallery of art $59,918,000 So if you think that the upkeep of the U.S. Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC is privately funded, think again. Here is the phone # for the House Subcommittee in case you want to verify these numbers: (202) 225-3081.
