The State Department release had contained, as in past years under preceding presidents, mention of the six million Jews exterminated by the Nazis. The White House says it did not know about this draft. But the President's ghost writers clearly knew, when they decided to "forget" the Jews, what they were doing and why. Finally there was the spectacle that followed the omission of Jews from the White House statement on Holocaust Remembrance Day. Either the newcomer is indeed a new pharaoh and will associate the Jews with the predecessor whose cause and destiny they so recklessly embraced.
