America, where I started
a family and became a

remember this history in

believe that the United

Museum presents and
preserves this history
with dignity and fulfills
the worthy mission of
disseminating its lessons

a better place for our
having been here.’ From
Elie Wiesel, I learned the
importance of tzedakah
(charity). From my beloved
friend Vidas Vilkas—born
in and liberated from
Auschwitz—I learned that
the impact the Holocaust
left on the survivors, no

was lifelong. These powerful
lessons inspired us to

Members, a distinction

Museum’s Endowment

the hope of ensuring
that this institution
will teach the lessons of
Never Again forever.”
