A Museum
The U.S. Holocaust Memorial
Museum isn't just a static collection of
exhibits on the fate of Europe's Jews
during World War 11. As the officially
designated agency for dealing with
Holocaust remembrance around the
world, officials of the museum have
considerable clout in negotiating with
foreign governments.
That was the story behind the
recent agreement by Polish authorities
to remove religious symbols, including
crosses and stars of David, from the
Auschwitz-Birkenau site in Poland.
The American team that negotiated
the agreement was headed by Miles
Lerman, chairman of the U.S.
Holocaust Memorial Council. That
kind of function, which goes well
beyond exhibits and displays, is what
the museum's founders had in mind,
according to Ralph Grunewald, direc-
tor of external affairs for the
Holocaust Council.
"We consider it very much part of
our mandate to protect Holocaust
memory around the world," he said.
"Being a guarantor of historic veracity
is a critical part of our mandate."
The fact that the museum has the
imprimatur of the U.S. government,
he said, raises its standing in negotia-
tions with foreign leaders.
After the outcry over the proposed
construction of a shopping center
across from the Auschwitz site, a
coalition headed by the Holocaust
Museum began negotiations with the
Polish government over a comprehen-
sive master plan for the site.
"We created a coalition, and we
made it clear to the Polish govern-
ment that our various partners,
including major Jewish organizations
and Yad Vashem, had a big stake in
this," Grunewald said.
Although an initial agreement was
ready in March, he said, it was held
up because of the presence of the reli-
gious symbols at the Birkenau site and
the election of a new Polish govern-
ment.
"Now that we've reached this mile-
stone," he said, "our hope is to go
back and negotiate an urban plan for
the ages — a plan that will forever
keep the site holy and that will reflect
what really happened there."
The American Jewish Committee's
David Harris also played a major role
in working out the language of the
agreement.
