The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum will hold its annual South Florida Dinner on Jan. 21, 2025, commemorating the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz and honoring the survivors. The event will also explain how the museum is reaching new generations with history’s timely lessons to inspire action today.
The museum will share a more complex picture of Auschwitz in the months before liberation as it is revealed in the Höcker album, which contains the last known photos of Auschwitz in operation and explain how the album became part of the museum’s collection, what it teaches about the Holocaust and how it inspired a play that was a 2024 Pulitzer Prize finalist.
The dinner will be chaired by Diane and Dr. Glen Mogan, longtime supporters committed to Holocaust memory and education. Their names are inscribed on the museum’s Donors Wall to honor their parents, who are Holocaust survivors. Glen’s parents emigrated from Austria to the United States in 1938. Drafted into the U.S. Army in 1942, Glen’s father, Harry Mogan, was a liberator of the Buchenwald concentration camp. Diane’s parents experienced Kristallnacht in November 1938 and her mother’s family immigrated to the United States in 1939 after Nazis destroyed their home and confiscated their business in Germany.
The 2025 South Florida Dinner will be held on Jan. 21 at 6 p.m. at Boca West Country Club.
