SUMMARY:Lyndon Baines Johnson Moral Courage Award Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:LBJ DINNER GOING VIRTUAL\nTHURSDAY\, MAY 7\, 2020 \nHMH’s annual dinner is its largest fundraising event of the year and raises critical funds to support the institution. Due to the continually evolving COVID-19 situation\, we’ve made the decision to turn our 2020 LBJ Moral Courage Award Dinner into a virtual event. We are planning an online program and invite you and your family and friends to join us on May 7\, 2020\, at 7:00 p.m. (CDT).  \nWe will celebrate moral courage from WWII to the current day\, present the 2020 Lyndon Baines Johnson Moral Courage Award to the family of the late Brigadier General Felix L. Sparks\, and hear a virtual conversation with WWII Historian and New York Times bestselling author Alex Kershaw and Holocaust Survivor Pinchas Gutter. \nWe thank all of our dinner sponsors who have extended their support to the Museum’s ongoing operations. All gifts in support of the event are now fully tax deductible. \nJoin the Museum in celebrating the 75th Anniversary of V-E Day by making a Tribute Gift of $180 or more in honor or memory of a loved one or Holocaust Survivor. Donors making a Tribute Gift will receive access to view the May 7 LBJ Moral Courage Award Virtual Event and those who donate by April 30 will receive recognition in the event presentation. Your gift will be put to immediate use and enable HMH’s dedicated to create new digital content about the Holocaust and Human Rights for educators\, parents\, and students.\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Dinner Chairs \nHeidi & David GergerSultana & Moez MangaljiAndrea & Bill White \nHost Committee Chairs \nErica & Benjy Levit \nHost Committee \nJudy & David BellFran & Mark BergTali & Eric BlumrosenLaurie & Milton BoniukPolly & Murry BowdenKaki & Larry BuckHonorable Theresa Chang & Peter Chang MDDebra & Steven CohenNancy & Jack DinersteinDenise & Steve EstrinKelli Cohen Fein & Martin FeinNancy Freed & Richie FreedLily & Charles FosterPaula GoldsteinCheryl & Stephen GolubLynn Gordon & Hy PennFlorie & Guillermo GuefenPunkin & Walter HechtShelly & Brian HendryEileen Reed & Leon FastowSandra & Steven FinkelmanMady & Ken KadesGail & Milton KleinBarbara & Barry LewisNicole & Glenn LowensteinMelanie & Jerome MartinPauline & Alfie MeyersonEdith MincbergAllison & Russell MolinaSusie & Jeff RaiznerMary R.

Wong \n*listing as of April 7\, 2020 \nHolocaust Museum Houston created the Lyndon Baines Johnson Moral Courage Award in 1994 in cooperation with the Johnson family. In 1938\, as a young congressman\, Johnson stretched the limits of his authority and risked his personal dreams to provide American sanctuary for threatened European Jews. It is because of these acts of moral courage that the Museum proudly named the award in his honor. The award recognizes either a single righteous act or a lifetime of morally courageous behavior. \nThank You to Our Generous Sponsors \nUpstander \nAmegy Bank / Barbara & Barry LewisPaula GoldsteinSultana & Moez Mangalji / Westmont Hospitality GroupShirley Toomim / Cyvia WolffThe Warren Family \nHero \nJoan & Stanford AlexanderJulie & Andrew AlexanderFran & Mark Berg FamilyPolly & Murry Bowden / Jeri & Marc ShapiroNancy & Jack Dinerstein / Betty & Michael TapickDr. Irving & Dr. Toby Gold / Dr. Judith GoldPunkin & Walter Hecht / BJ & Buddy HerzShelly & Brian Hendry / Limor & Stuart SmithNicole & Glenn LowensteinSunni & Gary Markowitz / Judy & Mark Mucasey / Dede & John LoughranJohn P.

SUMMARY:Yom HaShoah Virtual Observance
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Museum in observance of Yom HaShoah\, a day of remembrance for the 6 million Jewish people who lost their lives during the Holocaust. During this annual commemoration\, marked by the 75th anniversary of liberation\, we will mourn the loss of all who perished\, honor those who survived and come together as a community to remember and reflect. \nCoordinated by the Yom HaShoah Steering Committee and Holocaust Museum Houston \nFunding for this service is generously provided by:\nThe Morgan Family Endowment Fund\, the Morgan Family Center and the Morgan Family Foundation \nOn April 19\, 1943\, the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising began. Our colleagues have created resources to offer educators for their Yom HaShoah commemorative online events and/or lessons\, including a film about the Uprising\, a graphic novel\, a timeline of events in the Ghetto\, and bios of Ghetto fighters.  \nStudents can make their own daffodils at home\, encourage their peers to do the same\, and commemorate the event by wearing a daffodil they made and posting their picture on their social media accounts with the campaign hashtags:\n#WarsawGhettoUprising\n#POLINMuseum\n			\n				EXPLORE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES
