Rep. Zeldin Reappointed to United States Holocaust Memorial Council

Press Release

Congressman Lee Zeldin (R, NY-1), Ranking Member of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations and co-chair of the House Republican Israel Caucus, was appointed by Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R, CA-23) to continue serving on the United States Holocaust Memorial Council, which was established by Congress in 1980 to lead the nation in commemorating the Holocaust. The United States Holocaust Memorial Council consists of 55 members appointed by the President, five members from the U.S. House of Representatives, five members from the U.S. Senate, and three members from the Departments of Education, Interior, and State. Congressman Zeldin was first appointed to serve on the Council by former House Speaker Paul Ryan in 2017.

"We must never forget the innocent lives of 6 million Jews and millions of others lost during one of the darkest periods of our history," said Congressman Zeldin. "Their memories and the stories of those who survived the Holocaust must live on as part of our vow to never allow this darkest form of evil to ever rise again. Never again in any form can we allow this horribly unjust ending of the innocent lives of so many children, women and men, and it is in an honor to continue to serve on the US Holocaust Memorial Council to help champion this mission."
