UNITED STATES HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL COUNCIL​

​

Marie W. Woolf has been nominated twice (2006 and 2017) to the United States Holocaust Memorial Council by United States Senator Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah), a founding member of the Council. As a lifelong student of the genocide known as the Holocaust, which is inclusive not only of 6 million Jews but millions of other victims of Nazi atrocities up to and including World War II, Senator Hatch put forth Marie's name to serve a six-year term on the Washington, D.C.-based Council.

 

She was interviewed by the White House in 2006, but prominent presidential friends and political donors were given precedence.​Though she believes that the USHMM transcends politics and personalities, she took the second nomination off the table as a personal statement of opposition to Trump policies.

Two of the 2017 letters recommending Marie for appointment to the Council, and her statement required by the White House as part of that second nomination, may be viewed below.​
