Pentagon Removes Holocaust and 9/11 Articles in DEI Content Purge

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's directive has led to the deletion of thousands of articles, sparking criticism over the loss of historically significant narratives.

• The Pentagon has deleted Holocaust remembrance and 9/11-related articles as part of a directive to remove Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) content from its platforms.
• Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued the directive on February 26, instructing the removal of over 24,000 articles, including content on race, gender, and LGBTQ experiences.
• Advocacy groups, including the Anti-Defamation League, have criticized the removal of Holocaust-related content, calling for the restoration of these vital historical records.
• Pentagon officials acknowledged that some deletions were caused by automated processes, leading to unintended removals, with a few articles, such as those on Jackie Robinson, later reinstated.
• While the Pentagon has promised to reinstate content removed outside the directive's scope, no timeline has been provided for restoring Holocaust-related materials.
