    Mr. Mark Talisman, Presidentially-appointed founding vice chairman of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, Founding Director (Washington Offices) of the Council of Jewish Federations, and President of the Project Judaica Foundation speaks to hundreds of guests gathered aboard USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) during Truman's Torah dedication ceremony, June 24. A holy Jewish Torah, one of the few scrolls from Lithuania to survive the Holocaust, was presented to Truman by the United Jewish Federation of Tidewater, and will be on loan to Truman and displayed for 41 years, or the duration of the ship's life.
