Jews in the D

The Holocaust Memorial 
Center Zekelman Family 
Campus hosted its 35th 
Anniversary Dinner at 
the Suburban Collection 
Showplace late last year. 
More than 1,500 guests made 
it a sold-out event.
The annual fundraiser 
honored Nina and Bernie 
Kent for their significant 
work to ensure that the 
lessons of the Holocaust 

empower people today. The 
keynote speaker was Dr. 
Ruth Westheimer, an orphan 
of the Holocaust, celebrity 
therapist and star of the new 
documentary, Ask Dr. Ruth. 
Funds raised at the dinner 
will support HMC’
s many 
public tours, programs and 
exhibitions, as well as edu-
cation outreach provided 
to schools and community 
groups.
