Sen. Bernie Sanders has served on the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum’s governing board for 18 years without attending a single meeting, prompting a bipartisan effort to remove him, The New York Post reports.
Sanders (I-Vt.) was appointed in 2007 to the Holocaust Memorial Council, which meets twice a year to oversee the Washington museum located about two miles from the U.S. Capitol.
Records provided by museum staff show Sanders, who is Jewish, has missed every council meeting since joining the board, despite his long tenure and high-profile role in national politics, including his Democratic presidential campaigns in 2016 and 2020.
Its website describes the museum as “A nonpartisan, federal educational institution chartered by a unanimous Act of Congress in 1980….the Museum’s permanent place on the National Mall is guaranteed by federal support, and its far-reaching educational programs and global impact are made possible by generous donors.”
Sanders’ lack of involvement stands in stark contrast to another internationally prominent Jew with deep ties to Vermont: former UVM professor and Holocaust scholar Raul Hilberg, who served on its governing council, mentored its staff, and whose personal artifacts (like ghetto scrip) are in the Museum’s collections, with the Museum even establishing the Raul Hilberg Fellowship in his honor to support future scholars.

Being on a board for 18 years and not attending a single meeting says a lot about Bernie Sanders. Maybe it’s time he should resign, or the museum only uses him as a poster boy.
One question. Is Bernie compensated for this board seat?
I’m not surprised, he’s been gaslighting Vermonters for years. Sad, a senator was selected, and never even showed up…I hope they get some one soon that would actually be knowledgeable and willing to share that knowledge…as a Vermonter, I’m deeply saddened by his lack of involvement…
Sanders just like George Soros, both Jewish, both taking advantage of the Jews. Soros joined the Nazis, confiscated their properties, made money and is now attacking the US as a terrorist. Almost bankrupt England getting wealth. A couple of countries want his neck. Why US doesn’t give Soros to them is beyond me. Saved his neck by donating to Liberals. have pics showing Piglosi with him smiling. Sanders is Sanders wants wealth for himself and denies obtaining wealth for people-forget it. Doesn’t want people on SS to get interest on their confiscated monies. It’s free gov money and where’s the key to the lock box, Sanders it’s in Sanders pocket. Oh those tight lips, like he’s concerned about events. Good for the photo opt.
Bernie is a useless, self serving Marxist gasbag who does little to nothing more that preach Marxist cliches to his following of leftist fools, and enrich himself in the process.
