This is very interesting indeed. This is a waste of money and the federal govenment should not be fleecing American taxpayers to build these museums. This is what I call the worst kind of pork spending pushed by the Jewish Lobby. The question is why should there be so many of these museums and why should the American Taxpayers be obligated to pay for it during these hard times perpetuated by the Obama Administration. This is a travesty.

Local Holocaust Museums Grow Amid Worries About Future ? Forward.com

Amidst the economic ruins of the Obama Depression, there is at least one bright spot, a new growth industry in America Holocaust Museums!
According to the Jewish Daily Forward, The numbers speak for themselves: There are now 16 Holocaust museums in the United States, from Albuquerque, N.M., to Houston, to Richmond, Va. And these are just the biggest of nearly 150 Holocaust centers all over the country. The proliferation of museums detailing the story of what (supposedly) happened to European Jewry during World War II has been largely a phenomenon of the 1990s, part of the general increase in Holocaust awareness in the culture at large. But it has by no means slowed: The most recent museum, in Skokie, Ill., opened last spring, while construction continues on a second Los Angeles museum, to open in the summer of 2010. With a substantial, federally-backed (of course) national museum in Washington, critics are increasingly wondering about the need for so many local museums. Even more important, the question of whether these institutions will be able to financially sustain themselves into the future given the heavy costs of maintaining collections, and the dying off of the Holocaust survivors who founded them is of great concern to museum directors.
