28 Anniversary Dinner newsletter th summer 2012 Save the Date – November 11, 2012 T U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum his November, we will celebrate 28 years of preserving precious memories and promoting tolerance. The Holocaust Memorial Center and its educational programming were made possible through the hard work, dedication and generosity of many. It is up to us now to lead it into the future. Please join Dinner Chairs Karen and Joel Kahn on November 11 to affirm your support for our critical mission. Speaking to us that evening will be Father Patrick Desbois, a hero of our times. President of Yahad–In Unum, Father Desbois has devoted his life to confronting antisemitism and furthering CatholicJewish understanding. Since 2001, he has received international acclaim for his extraordinary work to locate every mass grave and site in the Ukraine at which Jews were killed during the Holocaust, and to collect artifacts and record video testimonies from eyewitnesses. That evening, it will be our pleasure to honor Henrietta and Alvin Weisberg Dinner Honorees for their outstanding commitment to the Center and our community.

In 1941, the Nazis initiated their campaign against the Jews of Belarus. Brothers Tuvia, Zus and Asael Bielski refused to become victims and committed themselves to rescue and resistance. They escaped to the forest and recruited relatives, friends and complete strangers. The brothers welcomed all who chose to fight back, even if they could not engage in combat. Ultimately 1,200 Jews were saved from certain death. This exhibit begins with life in Belarus, accounts of escape, and the formation of probably the most famous partisan detachment. Through panels, artifacts and interactives, the exhibit shows us the courage and commitment of this intrepid band of rebels. The exhibit will open on July 15 with a presentation by Tuvia Bielski’s granddaughter, Sharon Rennert, and a special tour of the exhibit.

Goldman E xecu t i v e D i rec to r Building a Lasting Legacy A s our Holocaust Memorial Center Zekelman Family Campus touches ever greater numbers of lives, it becomes even more important to assure its future. The value of the museum and its programs is inestimable, but the lights must stay on, the bills must be paid and educational outreach must continue. I know that many of you would like to make a significant gift so that the Center can continue to deliver its critical message to the next generation, but your generosity must be tempered by financial responsibility for yourselves and your families. There are ways to make a significant gift without jeopardizing your ability to meet current and future personal obligations. You needn’t be a millionaire to be a generous donor while meeting your responsibilities to your heirs. Outright Bequests You can direct in your will that the Center receive a certain sum, property, stock or percentage of your estate. Providing Income for Family Members If your financial responsibilities to family members extend beyond your lifetime, testamentary charitable remainder trusts or gift annuities can provide both a gift to help the Center and a stream of income to your beneficiaries. Educating the Next Generation Your Generosity at Work E ach year, nearly 50,000 students visit the Holocaust Memorial Center Zekelman Family Campus. Their token admission fees do not cover the cost of operating the center. Your gifts are what make their visits possible. Thank you! The geographic diversity of our visitors is astounding! Just since the beginning of March 2012, groups have visited from these Michigan cities, including some you may not even have known existed.

None of this would have been possible without the vision and tireless efforts our founder, Rabbi Charles H. Rosenzveig z’’l. With the help of the Shaarit Haplaytah and others too numerous to mention, Rabbi Rosenzveig made the dream of this institution a reality. He was relentlessly determined and resilient in overcoming the many hurdles he faced, first in opening the doors to the HMC and then nurturing it into an acclaimed institution of remarkable sophistication. It is in this spirit, and in recognition of the HMC’s roots, that we recently put the final touches on a permanent dedication to Rabbi Rosenzveig on the wall adjacent to the building’s main entrance. Rabbi Rosenzveig inspired many of us to continue his formidable work. It is his legacy that enables the HMC to educate and touch nearly 50,000 middle and high school students annually. These students, often knowing little about the Holocaust prior to their visit, are consistently moved by the docent-led tours which are then culminated by the experiences related in person by our precious survivors.
