In letter to President Rivlin, Marian Turski warned that Effi Eitam’s appointment would ‘greatly undermine Yad Vashem’s authority’
One of Poland’s most prominent Jewish citizens and Holocaust survivors has added his voice to the growing controversy over the appointment of Effi Eitam, former politician and military commander, to the top position at Yad Vashem.
In a letter sent several days ago to President Reuven Rivlin, historian and journalist Marian Turski warned that Eitam’s appointment as chairman of the Yad Vashem directorate would “greatly undermine Yad Vashem’s authority around the world.”
