They are creating a Holocaust museum that will not be offensive. Seriously?! do these people think they are creating a theme park? This is going to turn into a huge disappointment and chilul hashem. I think this is exactly what Rabbi Wein was referring to in his recent article. Even more sad because my father was supposed to be involved in this project. I quote.... Creating a welcoming environment for visitors on the more conservative end of the Orthodox spectrum means making some sacrifices. A handout from the museum stresses that digital content and online resources will be “subject to appropriate filtering and packaging.” Friedmann said there are “not going to be any displays people might find offensive.” Rabbi Dovid Reidel, the KFHEC’s director of research and archives division, said museum staff are still grappling with how to portray women in the Holocaust without upsetting religious sensitivities. “The last thing we want to do is suggest there weren’t women in the Holocaust,” Reidel said.
