The pressure came from the same people (Sembler et al) to state officials. The HRS Secretary got a call from state legislators that got a call from Sembler who was and is financially connected to them. Money talks. BTW - Straight channeled approx 100 million dollars through the corp over the years of operation, that were then transferred to DFAF when the straight foundation closed and after DFAF was incorporated.
I fully support the holocaust museum and it's mission. I believe what was done to the jewish people during the holocaust years is the most horrible thing that happened in the 20th century, possibly in the history of the world. Hell, I'm of jewish heritage. They should be removed. It is wrong that they are on the Board.
