    Holocaust Museum Elects New Officers

    The New Mexico Holocaust and Intolerance Museum and Study Center
    at its Board of directors meeting on December 9, elected new officers
    and recognized the unique contributions of founding members Werner and
    Frances Gellert.

    The elected directors of the museum reflect the ethnic diversity
    of the museum and its mission and include representatives from the
    Greek, Armenian, Hispanic, Black, Jewish, Italian, Japanese, Native
    American and Catholic communities and Rabbi Joseph Black of
    Albuquerque's Congregation Albert.

    President Andrew J. Lipman said his mission is to "expand the
    visibility of the museum and work toward the identification and
    purchase of a permanent location for the museum."

    He commented further that he intends to "expand the current scope
    of the museum to include additional exhibits of intolerance and
    inhumanity such as Black slavery."

    Lipman had been recognized by the City of Albuquerque Human
    Rights Board with the 2001 Human Rights Award.

    The New Mexico Holocaust and Intolerance Museum and Study Center,
    a national institute for the prevention of hate and intolerance, is
    dedicated to combating intolerance through education.
