On March 3, Forward Defense Nonresident Senior Fellow Samantha Vinograd was appointed by President Joseph Biden as a Member of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council.
The United States Holocaust Memorial Council was established by Congress in 1980 to commemorate the Holocaust and raise private funds for and build the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. After it opened in 1993, the Council became the governing board of trustees of the museum.
