Just before Joe Biden’s inauguration on January 20th, the departing President made public appointments for two well-known figures from Los Angeles to serve on the Board of Trustees of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum Council.
Matthew Segal, chief executive officer of ATTN:, a pioneer in social video that combines meaningful content with virality to inform broad audiences on current issues and topics, and Mandana Dayani, previous president of Archewell, the production and audio company initiated by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, as well as its charitable foundation, will be added to the Council. This council was created in 1980 by Congress via the Holocaust Memorial Council Act, with the goal of preserving the memory of the Holocaust and educating the public about the valuable lessons derived from this tragic event. The council additionally manages Washington D.C.’s memorial dedicated to the Holocaust.
As a gamer, I can’t help but feel deeply disturbed by the surge of antisemitism not just in the U.S., but worldwide, particularly following the October 7 attacks on Israel and the ensuing war in Gaza. Segal and Dayani have been tireless in their efforts to remind us of the horrifying attempted genocide of Europe’s Jewish population during World War II, an event that, in many ways, has shaped the current conflict we see today.
In the era of widespread misinformation online, the commitment to always remember the atrocities of the Holocaust is more vital than ever,” said Segal, who frequently appears on shows like Real Time With Bill Maher and NBC’s Today. “I eagerly anticipate utilizing my abilities as a storyteller and advocate to keep this promise strong for future generations.
Dayani serves as a brand strategist and is one of the co-founders of “I am a Voter,” a nonpartisan initiative that seeks to redefine the significance of civic engagement by blending pop culture and information to make voting identity trendy, admirable, and an essential aspect of personal identity.
Speaking out against antisemitism and backing Israel has been one of the most significant experiences in my life, she declared. ‘I’m incredibly thankful for this exceptional recognition by President Biden, and I continue to stand firm with our community, striving to make the vow ‘Never Again’ a reality,'” she said.
