“Thanks to the support of the Ernest Hecht Charitable Foundation, we were able to shape a new kind of programming rooted in the best of what people can be: caring, creative, courageous, and committed to remembering with historical rigour and responsibility towards the future. Their generosity allowed us to go beyond conventional forms of Holocaust education, creating bold, thoughtful, and deeply human experiences.

Together with our audiences, we are using Holocaust history not only to reflect on the past, but to confront the urgent moral questions of the present. None of this would have been possible without the Foundation’s belief in our work.”
