On Jan. 23 at 6 p.m., the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum will host its 2024 “What You Do Matters” South Florida Dinner at Boca West Country Club. As we witness an alarming surge in antisemitism on college campuses, online and streets worldwide, the dinner comes at a time when defending the truth of the Holocaust and educating about its ongoing relevance is crucial.
Lainie & Kenny Lipschutz
Lainie & Kenny Lipschutz and Susan & Bart Lewis will co-chair this year’s event, which will feature two prominent speakers: Dr. David Kertzer, Pulitzer Prize-winner and author of “The Pope at War: The Secret History of Pius XII, Mussolini and Hitler” and Suzanne Brown-Flemming, director of International Academic Programs at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and leader of the museum’s Vatican Archives Initiative.
Both experts will discuss the museum’s studies on millions of newly accessible documents related to the Holocaust-era Pope Pius XII. Through the museum’s Vatican Archives Initiative, which delves deep into the archives of the Holy See from the Holocaust era and helps to bring the stories of this period to the public forelight, future generations can understand the role of long-standing antisemitism played in making the Holocaust possible.
The Boca Raton Observer is the event’s exclusive media sponsor.
