Honoring
The Honorable Stuart E. Eizenstat
Chairman of United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Council
Ambassador of the United States of America (ret.)
We invite you to mark your calendar for Monday, May 13, 2024, and join us for this annual dinner at Hilton Americas-Houston where we will present the Honorable Stuart E. Eizenstat with the 2024 LBJ Moral Courage award.
The evening’s program will include an armchair-style conversation with Ambassador Eizenstat and Marion Ein Lewin, his partner, who is a child Holocaust survivor from the Netherlands. Dana Bash, CNN news anchor and chief political correspondent, will serve as moderator for this intriguing conversation.
The Honorable Stuart E. Eizenstat
This year’s recipient, the Honorable Stuart E. Eizenstat, served as the United States Ambassador to the European Union from 1993 to 1996 and as the United States Deputy Secretary of the Treasury from 1999 to 2001. With decades of public service in five administrations, he currently serves as Special Advisor to Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Holocaust issues in the Biden Administration. Senior counsel at Covington & Burling LLP, Ambassador Eizenstat is renowned for his international work on Holocaust restitution.
Dana Bash
With almost two decades covering domestic politics for CNN, few can rival Dana Bash’s acumen of national politics. A 3rd Generation Holocaust Survivor, Bash leaves audiences informed and engaged on topics as far ranging as the national political mood, women in politics and her own connection to Judaism. Bash has taken an in-depth look for a CNN Special Report, Rising Hate: Antisemitism in America, which includes an interview with Houston Holocaust Survivor Ruth Steinfeld.
