The Holocaust was the most horrific expression of what happens when hatred is allowed to thrive, and humanity fails. While the scale and circumstances are different, the cruelty and dehumanization that occurred on October 7th are tragically familiar. On the one-year anniversary of the October 7th attack in Israel, we remember the men, women, and children whose lives were cut short. We hold their stories close and honor their memories with a promise—to never allow hatred to become the norm, and to never let silence be the response to suffering. As antisemitism continues to rear its ugly head, it is during moments like these that we must remain steadfast in our commitment to education, remembrance, and to fighting injustice. May the memories of those who perished be a blessing and may we all work together towards a world where such tragedies never happen again. #October7 #OneYearAnniversary #NeverAgainIsNow #EducateToStopHate #HolocaustMuseumLA

Yesterday at Holocaust Museum LA, Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill (AB) 2867, legislation from Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel (Encino) that will help California residents recover art and other personal property stolen during the Holocaust or as a result of other acts of political persecution. “For survivors of the Holocaust and their families, the fight to take back ownership of art and other personal items stolen by the Nazis continues to traumatize those who have already gone through the unimaginable,” Newsom said in a statement. “It is both a moral and legal imperative that these valuable and sentimental pieces be returned to their rightful owners, and I am proud to strengthen California’s laws to help secure justice for families.” Thank you Governor Newsom for this historic signing and your continued support.

Thank you to the Los Angeles Times and The Los Angeles Times Entertainment for prominently featuring Holocaust Museum LA's newly launched Augmented Reality app that you can read about here. The app, an immersive learning tool that allows users to interact with a 3D model of the Nazi death camp Sobibor, was developed in partnership with Academy Award Winning Visual Development & Experience company Magnopus. Actor Ben Feldman serves as a holographic guide providing historical context and encouraging deeper exploration of the camp’s layout and daily life. Educating young students to think critically about the lessons of the Holocaust and its social relevance today is more crucial than ever. The AR app is available for free download in Apples App Store. We are grateful to the Jewish Community Foundation of Los Angeles, Cbs Television City Studios and the SNIDER FAMILY FOUNDATION for their generous support.

This past Friday, Holocaust Museum LA was proud to cosponsor a powerful conversation with Jewish Federation Los Angeles and two courageous survivors of the October 7th terrorist attack in Israel, along with the Anti-Defamation League, American Jewish Committee (AJC), JIMENA: Jews Indigenous to the Middle East and North Africa and Sinai Temple. During the conversation — moderated by Senior Rabbi at Sinai Temple Nicole Guzik — Nova Music Festival survivors Danielle Sasi, a Los Angeles resident, and Lion Piv, a festival worker, bravely shared their compelling and heartbreaking accounts of that horrific day. We thank Assemblymembers Wendy Carrillo and Mike Gipson for attending the event and presenting certificates to Danielle and Lion. The survivors asked that community members share their stories, remain united, and educate others about what happened on October 7th. Thank you to Jewish Federation Los Angeles for organizing and hosting such an important event. #EducateToStopHate #HolocaustMuseumLA

On Monday Holocaust Museum LA hosted the 2nd Annual Building Bridges Golf Classic at El Caballero Country Club. All proceeds support the Museum’s work teaching the critical lessons and social relevance of the Holocaust. Now, more than ever, we must speak out against antisemitism, bigotry, and hatred in all forms. Golfers had the opportunity to partake in a Golf Clinic with none other than World Golf Hall of Famer Amy Alcott and enjoy a variety of unique activations on different holes. The day concluded with a reception and live auction, led by KTLA Morning News Anchor, Frank Buckley, where participants gathered to celebrate their achievements on the course and to further support Holocaust Museum LA. A big thank you to event chair Peter Best and Arthur Bernier and his team at Access Sports Limited, Inc. for bringing together a dedicated group to support our mission. Not to mention our wonderful sponsors, participants, and volunteers, without whom this event would not be possible.
