Join the Los Angeles community in learning more about the Museum’s

urgent work to keep Holocaust memory alive in a constantly changing

world. We will honor Renée Firestone, Deborah Oppenheimer, and Dana

M. Perlman with the National Leadership Award for their contributions

to preserving Holocaust history. Firestone, an Auschwitz survivor who

became a successful fashion designer, has devoted thousands of hours

over more than three decades to educating people about the Holocaust

and its contemporary implications. Oppenheimer and Perlman, children

of Holocaust survivors, have shown their commitment to advancing

the Museum’s mission through service on the United States Holocaust

Memorial Council, among other efforts.
