Kristallnacht 1938: an unfortunate
comparison.
faxed — anonymously — to Holocaust
Memorial Council members.
But Roth, while using an unfortu-
nate comparison, was "attacking an
extreme voice in Israel, not Israel itself,"
said Deborah Lipstadt, a Holocaust
scholar at Emory University in Atlanta
and a member of the board that runs
the museum. "I wouldn't have used that
particular analogy because it's too often
used in an abhorrent way by people
who compare Israel and the Third
Reich. But there is nothing here to sug-

was comparing the Israelis to the
Nazis."
She pointed to Roth's long record
of Holocaust scholarship, and added
that his comments were not signifi-

mainstream Israeli leaders about
Moledet, a movement many consid-

"To attack a man on two paragraphs
written a decade ago and not on the
reams of scholarship he's produced is
outrageous," she said.
Roth's appointment as the first head
of the center, created to expand the
museum's scholarly role, has been
widely applauded by Holocaust schol-
ars and museum staffers. This week,
museum insiders were angry about the
attacks on Roth, although several indi-

phrased his arguments in the contro-
versial article.
Several Holocaust Museum sources
expressed concern that a series of recent
controversies — including the ouster of
former director Walter Reich and the
abortive visit by Palestinian leader Yasser
Arafat -- might make members skittish
about Roth's appointment.
"He'll be tarred and feathered for
this," said one museum source. "This is
a first-rate scholar who made an unfor-
tunate comparison in a single newspa-
per article. But there's always the danger
that those in the Jewish community
