Wednesday, October 25, 2023 Hyatt Regency Dallas



WELCOME Dear Friends, We are thrilled to welcome you to this year’s Hope for Humanity event! Founded in 1984 by Holocaust survivors, the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum is dedicated to teaching the history of the Holocaust and advancing human rights to combat prejudice, hatred, and indifference. We know that just as hatred can be learned, it can be unlearned. Our interactive exhibitions and meaningful programs provide educational opportunities for students, visitors, and corporate professionals to consider the real consequences of their actions and inspire them to become Upstanders - someone who stands up for others and combats acts of injustice or inequality. This year, we will reach almost 120,000 students. Your support tonight ensures that we can continue to create connections that allow students to better understand the significance of the Holocaust, what human rights are, and their own role in standing up to antisemitism and hatred today. The Museum is committed to sharing the stories of survivors. These testimonies leave a lasting legacy on our visitors and teach us valuable lessons in resiliency and hope. Tonight, we are privileged to hear from Ginette Mandelblum Albert, Paul Kessler, Dr. Max Spindler, and Rosian Bagriansky Zerner about their experiences as hidden children during the Holocaust. Each year, the Museum bestows the Hope for Humanity award to an outstanding individual who demonstrates a dedication to improving society. We are honored to present it to longtime supporter and Lifetime Director Larry Schoenbrun. A passionate defender of human rights, Larry generously dedicates his pro bono legal work to helping those seeking asylum — something he does in loving memory of his grandmother and numerous family members who perished in the Holocaust. On behalf of everyone at the Museum, we would like to thank Event Co-Chairs Lynn and Gil Friedlander, and Linda and Ken Wimberly for making tonight possible. Alongside the Honorary Committee and Host Committee, their amazing efforts and the incredible generosity of all of you have made this Hope for Humanity one of our most successful ever. With gratitude,

Mary Pat Higgins President and CEO

Lee Michaels Board Chair

PREVIOUS HONOREES The Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum bestows the Hope for Humanity award annually to an outstanding individual or organization that demonstrates a dedication to the improvement of society and personifies the Museum’s mission to teach the history of the Holocaust and advance human rights to combat prejudice, hatred, and indifference. Honorees are presented with a shofar, a ram’s horn symbolizing zikaron (or “remembrance”). When sounded, it calls us to account for our actions and to join in community.

2023 HONOREE: LARRY L. SCHOENBRUN The Museum is proud to honor Larry Schoenbrun for his longstanding community advocacy and his pro bono legal work helping those seeking asylum. Born in 1940 and raised in Tyler, Texas, Larry is the son of Slovakian and Hungarian immigrants who opened a women’s clothing store in 1930. His parents were able to sponsor several family members to join them in the U.S. and saved them from probable death during the Holocaust. Tragically, his grandmother was transported to Auschwitz in July 1944 and murdered there by the Nazis, as were many other members of his family. Larry received his undergraduate and law degrees from the University of Texas at Austin. He and his wife, Celia, moved in 1965 to Dallas, where Larry has practiced law for 58 years with the same firm, Foley & Lardner LLP and its predecessors, and was its managing partner from 2000 to 2005. He served as chair of the Texas Business Law Foundation and the Texas State Bar’s Securities and Business Law sections. Active in the nonprofit community, he was chair of Community Homes for Adults, Inc. (CHAI), the Jewish Federation of Greater Dallas, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) North Texas/ Oklahoma Board, and the Dallas Jewish Community Foundation. Larry has been a member of the Board of Directors of the Museum for 27 years and participated in the capital campaign to build the new Museum. In 2017, Larry was named a Lifetime Director of the Museum in recognition of his dedicated service. He continues to take great pleasure in the Museum’s success in fulfilling the mission of its founders. In 2014, on the front page of The Dallas Morning News, Larry saw a photo of two little children who had been tried in a Dallas immigration court without legal representation and were ordered to be deported. Although Larry is a corporate lawyer who had never litigated a case and knew nothing about immigration law, he concluded that any lawyer is better than no lawyer and set about to get involved. He, with the aid of colleagues, has been privileged to represent a dozen women, men, and children asylum seekers fleeing from Central America, most of whom are now on the path to citizenship. Married for 60 years to his one and only girlfriend, Larry and Celia have three children and five grandchildren.

HIDDEN CHILDREN: SECRET SANCTUARIES Of the 6 million Jews murdered during the Holocaust, about 1.5 million were children. Children had one of the lowest rates of survival in death camps such as Auschwitz-Birkenau – they were often immediately sent to the gas chambers upon arrival. While 33% of Europe’s prewar adult Jewish population survived the Holocaust, only 6 to 11% of children survived. Many of the Jewish children who survived the Holocaust managed to do so because they were “hidden” by taking on new identities or through physical concealment from the public eye. Hidden children often relied on non-Jews for protection or on organizations that took great risks to provide aid. The Nazis harshly punished those who hid Jews; discovery could lead to death for those helping and for those hidden. Despite these risks, some Belgian Catholics, French Protestants, and Albanian and Yugoslavian Muslims hid Jewish children in their homes. Across Europe, some Catholic convents provided shelter. Jewish and other welfare organizations, like Oeuvre de Secours aux Enfants (OSE), set up underground rescue networks and ran orphanages for Jewish children from countries under Nazi occupation. Some Jewish hidden children could pass as non-Jews, which meant they could live more openly and even attend local schools. However, many could not or did not speak their new location’s language, so their presence raised too many questions. These hidden children were concealed in spots like cellars, attics, and barns, where they often had to remain quiet and motionless for extended periods of time. Either way, hidden children needed false identity papers, which were obtained through contacts with the resistance. Children were easier to hide than adults. Jewish parents had to make the difficult decision to place their children in hiding. As a result, most hidden children were separated from their parents and families. The Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum would like to thank Ginette Mandelblum Albert, Paul Kessler, Dr. Max Spindler, and Rosian Bagriansky Zerner for sharing their experiences with us tonight. As children, all survived the Holocaust in various types of hiding at great risk to those who sheltered them. They rebuilt their lives after the traumatic events of their childhood and went on to have families of their own. 16

HONORING OUR DALLAS/FORT WORTH AREA SURVIVORS,

Survivors at the dedication of the new Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum on September 18, 2019.

The Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum 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.

A MESSAGE FROM THE HONOREE

Mike Jacobs gives students a tour in the original center, late 1980s.

We are so pleased to have participated in a small way as the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum has progressed from its small space in the Jewish Community Center to its wonderful current facility. The Museum is a tribute to those who died in the Holocaust and to the many Upstanders who have contributed to furthering human rights in our country.

must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never “theWevictim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men or women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must ― at that moment ― become the center of the universe.

~ Elie Wiesel

Debbie and Ron Greene

As a past recipient of the ADL Larry Schoenbrun Jurisprudence Award, I am thrilled and excited, as is Lisa, to be able to recognize your important contributions and to honor you. Congratulations, Larry, for devoting so much of your life to providing hope for humanity. No one deserves this more. Peter Kraus

CURRENT SPECIAL EXHIBITION

on view through December 31, 2023 Black Citizenship in the Age of Jim Crow explores the struggle for full citizenship and racial equality that unfolded in the 50 years after the Civil War. By 1868, slavery was abolished and all persons born in the United States were citizens and equal before the law, but efforts to create an interracial democracy were contested from the start. A harsh backlash ensued, ushering in the “separate but equal” age of Jim Crow when a system of second-class citizenship and racial segregation was put in place across the nation. The exhibition takes visitors on a journey from the end of the Civil War to the end of World War I and examines how African Americans advocated for their rights. Art, artifacts, photographs, and media illustrate these transformative decades in American history and their continuing relevance today.

This exhibition has been organized by The New-York Historical Society.

UPCOMING SPECIAL EXHIBITION

Walk This Way FOOTWEAR FROM THE STUART WEITZMAN COLLECTION OF HISTORIC SHOES F e b r u a r y 9 t o J u ly 1 4 , 2 0 2 4

From silk boudoir shoes created for the 1867 Paris Exposition to leather spectator pumps signed by the 1941 New York Yankees, Walk This Way features more than 100 striking pairs of shoes. This exhibition presents footwearspanning nearly 200 years — from the collection of highfashion shoe designer Stuart Weitzman, and businesswoman and philanthropist Jane Gershon Weitzman. An integral part of our everyday lives, shoes not only protect our feet, but tell stories centered around women’s labor activism, the fight for suffrage, and the sexual revolution. Production and consumption of footwear serve as pathways toward discovering the vital role women played in history. Women take center stage as this exhibition explores a variety of shoes, including those worn by suffragists as they marched through the streets, Jazz Age flappers as they danced the Charleston, and starlets who graced the silver screen in the postwar era. In exploring the process of shoemaking, the role of women in one of the first mass production industries, and their participation in the forming of organized labor, the exhibition presents the story of the shoe as it has never been told before.

This exhibition has been organized by The New-York Historical Society.
