Ivanka Trump toured Holocaust Museum, president may follow suit: report

First daughter Ivanka Trump toured the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington and her father may soon do so as well, Bloomberg reported Friday.

The tour was private, and Trump was joined by her husband’s parents Charles and Seryl Kushner, who are Orthodox Jews. Her husband and senior adviser to President Trump Jared Kushner’s grandmother was a Holocaust survivor who helped found the museum.

Ivanka Trump converted to Judaism before marrying Kushner in 2009.

{mosads}President Trump has stirred criticism for being slow to denounce anti-Semitic acts, including bomb threats to Jewish Community Centers and desecration of Jewish cemeteries.

During a news conference last month, Trump was asked by an Orthodox Jewish reporter about a rise in anti-Semitic acts, to which the president told him to “sit down” and declared he was the “least racist person”

Trump also faced backlash for not mentioning Jews in a statement commemorating Holocaust Remembrance Day in January.

Amid criticism, Trump forcefully condemned anti-Semitism and threats and acts targeting the Jewish community in an address at the National Museum of African American History last month.

In those remarks, the president said he would visit the Holocaust Memorial Museum “very soon,” though a date for the visit hasn’t yet been announced.
