Studies show that US coverage is Israeli-centric. The main bureaus for CNN, Associated Press, Time, etc. are located in Israel and often staffed by Israelis. The son of the NY Times bureau chief is in the Israeli army;"pundit" Jeffrey Goldberg served in the IDF; Wolf Blitzer worked for AIPAC. Because the U.S. gives Israel over $8 million/day - more than to any other nation - we feel it is essential that we be fully informed on this region. Below are news reports to augment mainstream coverage.

Clinton says U.S. to contribute $150 million to Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation

Ha'aretz - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Saturday announced the U.S. intends to contribute $15 million to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation.

The State Department on Saturday said Clinton's announcement of the anticipated contribution helps commemorate the 1.1 million victims who perished at the Nazi death camp, and demonstrates the U.S. administration's commitment to Holocaust remembrance and education.

The contribution is subject to Congressional authorization, but if approved it will begin in 2012. 

The U.S. contribution is intended to help fund a 120 million euro endowment to preserve and safeguard the remains of the camp, whose buildings and other artifacts are in serious danger of irreversible deterioration.

In 2009 alone, more than 1.3 million people from around the world visited the Auschwitz-Birkenau museum and memorial.
