BOARD

Dear Friends,

We are delighted to welcome you, both in person and virtually, to this year’s Hope for Humanity event as we celebrate our Survivors and honor Cynthia “Cynt” Marshall!

Since our founding in 1984, we have held a deep-rooted responsibility to ensure that history lives on through education. We inspire visitors to consider the real consequences of their actions and challenge them to become Upstanders in their communities. At the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum, we are dedicated to teaching the history of the Holocaust and advancing human rights to combat prejudice, hatred, and indifference.

Like many of you, we are alarmed by the continued rise of antisemitism, racially motivated hatred, and human rights violations we have seen play out on the world stage and here at home. But we are not without hope. We know from history that there are people willing to stand up for others. The Kindertransport is such an example. Tonight, you will hear the testimonies of Magie Furst and Bert Romberg, siblings who were spared the atrocities of the Holocaust because of the bravery of those who worked fervently to bring nearly 10,000 children to safety.

This evening, we are proud to honor Cynt Marshall, a dynamic force for inclusion and diversity both within the Dallas Mavericks organization and the greater Dallas community. She is a history-maker as the first Black female CEO of an NBA team and a trailblazer in how to create a welcoming corporate culture. Throughout her career, she has embodied and promoted transparency, trust, and values-based leadership. Cynt has persevered through hardships and setbacks, beating the odds in both her professional and personal life.

On behalf of everyone at the Museum, we’d like to thank Event Chairs Cristina Barbosa and Michael Young for making tonight possible. Along with the Honorary Committee and Host Committee, they worked passionately to ensure a successful event. Thanks to their dedication and the incredible generosity of all of you, the Museum is making a difference.

CYNTHIA “CYNT” MARSHALL 2022 HOPE FOR HUMANITY HONOREE

The Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum is proud to honor Cynt Marshall for her inspirational work in promoting the values of equity, diversity, and inclusion in the corporate community.

Since her Dallas Mavericks CEO appointment in 2018, Cynt’s vision was for the organization to become the NBA standard for inclusion and diversity. Today, the leadership of the organization is 50% women and 50% people of color. In 2020 and 2022, the NBA awarded the Dallas Mavericks its Inclusion Leadership Award, a distinguished accolade recognizing an organization’s commitment to inclusion as a key business strategy.

Cynt’s acclaim began many years ago during her 36-year career at AT&T and grew exponentially when she served as Senior Vice President – Human Resources and Chief Diversity Officer. There she was responsible for identifying and developing leaders and overseeing performance development, employee engagement, skills transformation initiatives, EEO and Affirmative Action.

Widely recognized for her visionary leadership, among Cynt’s many honors include receiving the 2020 Girl Scouts of America Lifetime Achievement award, being touted as one of Adweek’s 30 Most Powerful Women in Sports and in 2021, Forbes naming her one of 15 of the world’s most inspiring female leaders, Dallas WISE (Women In Sports and Events) honoring her with the inaugural Women of Inspiration award, The Women’s Forum of New York bestowing the Elly award, and Texas Women’s University recognizing Cynt with the Virginia Chandler Dyke Leadership award.

KINDERTRANSPORT: INTO THE ARMS OF STRANGERS

The Kindertransport was responsible for saving the lives of 10,000 Jewish children from Germany, Austria, and Czechoslovakia. The success of this initiative required the bravery of individuals, rapid policy creation, and collaboration among diverse religious groups. Following the events of Kristallnacht (Crystal Night or the Night of Broken Glass) on November 9-10, 1938, concerned people around the world were horrified to witness the destruction of 7,000 Jewish businesses and the arrest of 30,000 Jewish men who were sent to concentration camps. This marked a turning point for German Jews who understood they had no future in Germany. World reaction was intense. Priests and pastors – not just rabbis – and political leaders condemned the attacks, while English citizens pressured their country to act. Between December 1938 and September 1939, Britain offered a home to Jewish children from Germany, Austria, and Czechoslovakia.

Jewish parents in the Reich faced an impossible decision: confront an unknown fate together as a family or send their children alone – perhaps never to see them again – to potential safe haven in England. Jewish leaders in Germany were forced to make a life and death choice: which children to accept and which to reject. Many organizations and religions participated in the rescue operation, with about half of the children living in foster homes, and the others staying in hostels, schools, or farms across England.

The Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum would like to thank siblings Magie Romberg Furst and Bert Romberg for sharing their experiences with us tonight.

“We had about a fortnight (two weeks) before we left. And into that fortnight, both mother and father were trying to give the instructions, the guidance that they hoped to have their whole life to give.”

Eva Hayman, Kindertransportee

In loving memory of Harry Furst & Ricky Furst. You left us far too early and of all our loved ones who perished in the Holocaust. Forever in our hearts, Magie Furst & Robin Furst and David Boden

Much applause and thanks to the staff of the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum. You are doing important work! We appreciate you, Terry and Bert Romberg

The Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum has made a gift to the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS) this year on behalf of our Survivor community, as they too were once refugees in need of compassion and assistance.

After World War II, HIAS was instrumental in evacuating the displaced persons camps in Europe and aiding in the resettlement of some 150,000 people to 330 communities in the United States, as well as Canada, Australia, and South America.

Since its founding in 1881, HIAS has drawn on its Jewish values and history to provide vital services to refugees and asylum seekers around the word, while advocating for their fundamental rights so they can rebuild their lives.

In I945, a diary was found in the ashes of a destroyed crematorium in the liberated Auschwitz-Birkenau Death Camp. It was written by a 14-year-old Jewish girl named Rywka Lipszyc and documented her life in the Łódź Ghetto between October 1943 and April 1944.

July 14 - December 31, 2022

Rywka’s diary told the story of a young girl who lost her siblings and parents, but never lost hope or faith. More than 60 years after its discovery, the diary traveled to the United States, where it was translated from Polish, supplemented with commentaries, and published as a moving memoir of life and adolescence in the Łódź Ghetto. Through excerpts from the diary, multimedia displays, and historical artifacts, the exhibition allows visitors to briefly walk the streets of the Łódź Ghetto and get to know one of its residents, Rywka Lipszyc.

The Girl in the Diary: Searching for Rywka from the Łódź Ghetto is presented in cooperation with the Galicia Jewish Museum in Kraków, Poland.

RISE

Rise Up: Stonewall and the LGBTQ Rights Movement, created to mark the 50th anniversary of a June 1969 police raid of the Stonewall Inn in New York’s Greenwich Village, explores the modern LGBTQ rights movement in the United States. The protests that followed the raid were a pivotal moment in the modern gay liberation movement and the ongoing fight for LGBTQ civil rights.

Through powerful artifacts, images, and historic publications, Rise Up describes key moments in LGBTQ history, including the 1978 assassination of Harvey Milk, one of the country’s first openly gay elected officials, the AIDS crisis, U.S. Rep. Barney Frank’s public coming out in 1987, the efforts to enact hate crime legislation, the implementation and later repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” and the fight for marriage equality in the United States.

Rise Up was developed by Freedom Forum, which fosters First Amendment freedoms for all.

In the United States justice system, “innocent until proven guilty” is the guiding rule – but what happens when the system fails? Over the last 30 years, 375 people have been exonerated by DNA testing, including 21 who were on death row, after spending an average of 14 years in prison for crimes they did not commit. The Innocence Project works to restore freedom for the innocent, transform the systems responsible for unjust incarceration, and cultivate a coalition of organizations dedicated to combating wrongful convictions. Innocence Project co-founder Barry Scheck, executive director Christina Swarns, and exoneree Christopher Ochoa discuss the organization’s founding, its groundbreaking use of DNA technology, their ongoing efforts to reform policies that lead to wrongful convictions, and the impact of their work on individuals who have been exonerated.

A MOCKINGBIRD

May 16, 2023 | Music Hall at Fair Park
