(Jewish Group) New leader of Tucson's Holocaust museum is a genocide survivor herself
The Holocaust museum in Arizona’s second-largest city has tapped a Jewish survivor of an African genocide as its new leader.
The board of directors at the Jewish History Museum/Holocaust History Center in Tucson unanimously selected Gugulethu Moyo in November to become its executive director, making her likely the first Jew of color to lead a major Jewish museum in the United States.
