Campaign Co-Chairs HEIDI GERGER

Dear HMH Family and Friends,

Hats off to You! Thank you to our incredible and generous donors who made the Remembering Our Past. Building Our Future. Capital Campaign a resounding success. The impact of the newly renovated Museum on our city will be felt for many years to come. Through the success of the Capital Campaign and the support of our ongoing initiatives the Museum will markedly extend its outreach to educate people about the Holocaust, remembering the 6 million Jews and other innocent victims and honoring the survivors’ legacy. Since the public opening of the Lester and Sue Smith Campus on June 22, 2019, we have had over 40,000 visitors. The new fully bilingual Museum, with four new permanent Galleries, two changing exhibit galleries, theater and four state-of-the-art classrooms our outreach to the community has vastly expanded. Endowments supporting transportation are expected to double the number of student tours. The new campus brings the opportunity for tremendous growth in audience capacity, which we anticipate will be over 100,000 adults and students from across Southeast Texas and beyond each year. HMH is excited about the many possible exhibitions related to the Holocaust, other genocides, and human rights that our curatorial department can design and showcase in our new gallery spaces. The Operation Finale exhibition opened to huge success as the inaugural changing exhibit in the Edith and Josef Mincberg Gallery , and Dolores Huerta: Revolution in the Fields / Revolución en los Campus , a Smithsonian exhibition, is now on view along with the photographic exhibit of Danny Lyon: Memories of the Southern Civil Rights Movement . We look forward to pushing the boundaries of our creativity. From Darkness, Light . Using the lessons of the Holocaust and other atrocities, HMH will continue to share constructive lessons on the dangers of hatred, prejudice and apathy – and inspire positive change in the hearts and minds of people for generations to come. Thank you for your continued generosity to Holocaust Museum Houston.
