Athens, GA – Former President Jimmy Carter once complained there were “too many Jews” on the government’s Holocaust Memorial Council, Monroe Freedman, the council’s former executive director, said in an interview.
Freedman, who served on the council during Carter’s term as president, also revealed a noted Holocaust scholar who was not Jewish was rejected from the council’s board by Carter’s office because the scholar’s name “sounded too Jewish.”

Freedman says he was tasked at that time with creating a board for the council and with making recommendations to the White House on how best to memorialize the Holocaust. He said he sent a memo to Carter’s office containing recommendations for council board members.
When the memo was returned there was a note on the upper right hand corner that stated, “Too many Jews.” The note, Freedman said, was written in Carter’s handwriting and was initialed by Carter.
Monroe Freedman is a jew himself and a distinguished scholar and professor at hofstra law school.
With his book, seems like Carter asked for it. Now the low life bigot may get censured by congress. I hope he does.
May the famous one to arise from Athens to the Oval Office DROP DEAD b’korov.
