Leadership Circle

Turning a dream into reality; educating others about the Holocaust and fighting its denial, its distortion, and antisemitism.

The Minneapolis Foundation drives collective action to realize strong, vibrant communities. IHRE’s mission aligns with our commitment to foster inclusion, understanding, and connection between individuals and communities in Minnesota and beyond.

The Heilicher Family Foundation is committed to Jewish education. IHRE’s mission is important and supports our commitment to our community.

IHRE’s passion to stop Holocaust denial and fight antisemitism is much needed now. Education is needed so we do not forget the lives lost in Holocaust nor the lessons learned from their sacrifice. We must preserve their legacies.

We are supporting IHRE in the hope that it will reach younger generations to stem the rising tide of antisemitism and hatred in the United States and around the world.

Supporting the Institute for Holocaust Research and Education’s focus on millennials and Gen Z is crucial in ensuring that the lessons of the Holocaust are not forgotten, and that future generations understand the importance of combating hatred and discrimination. By engaging with young adults, IHRE is helping to shape a more empathetic and inclusive society that values diversity and human rights. IHRE’s innovative educational programs and resources provide people with the tools and knowledge needed to create a more just and compassionate world.

We are proud to support The Institute for Holocaust Research and Education. We must never forget what really happened and ensure that it never happens again. Between 1933 and 1945, six million Jews were killed. Let us educate ourselves, listen, and learn so that history does not repeat itself.

The IHRE’s work is so important in our current climate of increasing division, intolerance, and scapegoating. The IHRE helps tell the tragic history of the holocaust to a broader community to help build bridges of understanding, empathy, and respect as we face current and future societal hardships.

Having grandparents who survived Auschwitz and the Holocaust permanently imprinted my family to the sad truth that pure evil exists.  As our grandparents aged, one of their few wishes was to simply never forget.  Today, whenever anyone is witness to Jews being murdered and tortured simply for being Jewish…and they do nothing or find convenient excuses to marginalize the atrocities…they are either evil or forgot the lessons of history, or both. Sadly, the world needs the IHRE now more than ever.

Education and exposure are the antidotes to hate; the IHRE’s outreach to younger generations is important for an inclusive and peaceful future.

We believe that it is important to remember the Holocaust and to educate future generations about its horrors, so that something like this never happens again. Knowing that every generation loses a little, the mission of IHRE to teach and inform can keep the #neveragain motto on the forefront.
