The recently ousted director of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum became the first person to hold the Yitzhak Rabin Memorial Chair at George Washington University’s School of International Affairs.

The new professorship was endowed in memory of Rabin’s commitment to the Middle East peace process.
