Trump names Real Housewives of N.J. star to solemn commission
On May 5, 2025, President Donald Trump named Siggy Flicker and four additional individuals to serve on the board overseeing the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, replacing members previously appointed by President Joe Biden.
Trump removed all President Joe Biden's appointees on April 29, marking the first early elimination of council members during their terms.
Siggy Flicker, a 57-year-old Israeli-American former matchmaker and reality TV personality, is a vocal Trump supporter whose stepson was charged in January 2024 for Capitol riot misdemeanors.
Trump commended the appointees as committed advocates for Israel who will help preserve the memory of its significance, while Flicker expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to serve and emphasized the importance of remembrance.
The new council members will serve five-year terms, signaling a leadership reshuffle intended to align the memorial’s mission with Trump’s supporters amid ongoing political tensions.
