BOARD OF TRUSTEES

LETTER FROM OUR CEO

FROM OUR LEADERSHIP

Greetings,

This was a remarkable year filled with incredible moments, challenges, and new opportunities. As you read through the pages of this report, you will see the enormous impact of this organization, our award-winning museum, and our various digital and in-person programs and offerings.

One of the highlights of my career happened this year when an incredibly generous couple announced their plans to accelerate their family’s legacy gift. They wanted to see our timely work grow in their lifetime, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to ensure they witness that happen. Their confidence in our work and vision for our impact inspires me. They see us meeting this critical moment with new creativity, and innovating to address the needs of the future. This gift catapults our work to new heights and invites us to dream bigger. But to make those dreams a reality — to achieve what’s possible and deliver what the future demands — we need each and every one of you. We can’t build a Center that confronts the challenges of tomorrow without your ongoing support today.

As I celebrate the achievements of the work we’ve been able to do with your support, this month also marks the end of my tenure as Chief Executive Officer. From our beginnings at Hebrew Union College to our permanent home at historic Union Terminal, it’s been an incredible 18 years. The importance of our mission and the wonderful people who have been part of this transformational journey will always stay with me. Thank you to everyone who has become like family to me, including our board, staff, and volunteers. I have unending gratitude to the survivors who had the vision for the organization and gave me inspiration every day. I am thankful for the teachers and students I’ve gotten to work with who continuously restore my faith in humanity. And last but not least, a thanks to my own family who has embraced a life devoted to HHC.

While this is a bittersweet moment for me personally, I couldn’t be prouder of the strength of our organization. I am grateful to our team and David Wise, who I am confident will take expert care in ensuring our growth is thoughtful, strategic, and aligned with our visionaries, the survivors. Fortunately, I have been given the opportunity to continue as a Senior Advisor to help with envisioning the next chapter. I will remain a supporter of HHC for years to come and my greatest wish is that each of you will make that commitment too!

To Our Friends and Supporters,

I feel so fortunate to be on this journey of transformational growth with HHC, first as Board Chair and now as Interim Chief Executive Officer. It’s hard to believe that in such a short time, this small but mighty organization has grown into an award-winning museum with worldclass exhibit space and an expanding, dedicated, staff.

We would not be in this moment of growth and change without Sarah Weiss, whose commitment, leadership, unmatched work ethic, and sheer intelligence and vision has shaped this organization into what it is today. For 18 years, she’s dedicated herself and her heart to this paramount mission and we are all grateful for what she’s built.

We have work to do. Our next chapter is here, and it comes at a time when antisemitic acts, violence, and hate crimes permeate our communtiy and world. Our mission has never been as important as it is at this moment, and we know our work changes hearts and minds. In fact, 91.7% of surveyed individuals say they feel the need to stand up to antisemitism and hate after attending HHC programs.

But as Sarah wrote, we cannot sustain our tremendous work and growth without your support and your commitment to our mission. Bring your friends and family to the museum, recommend one of our programs to your neighbor, tell your local school about our educational opportunities, and ensure this work can continue by giving annually.

On Page 17, you’ll read about some of the exciting work and organizational updates you can expect in the months and years to come. It’s easy to forget that just five years ago, we were only a few small rooms in Rockwern. We leveraged your support then and built on a dream.

Now, imagine what we can do in the next five years. With your help, I truly believe we can reach individuals around the world with our mission. We can amplify the voices of Holocaust survivors and create a movement of upstanders who can further strengthen our community. We can show that bold innovation is at the heart of who we are. Won’t you join us?

The Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center exists to ensure the lessons of the Holocaust inspire action today. HHC educates about the Holocaust, remembers its victims and acts on its lessons.

94.5%

of museum visitors say they will recommend the experience to someone they know.

91.7%

of surveyed individuals say they feel the need to stand up to antisemitism and hate after attending HHC programs.

76%

of visitors spend more than one hour exploring the museum and visitors come from nearly every state across the country.

“

1 OF ONLY 102.5 MILLION+

people are engaged every year through HHC’s mission-driven digital and in-person events, museum tours, educational experiences, social media and virtual content. From Australia to India, individuals from more than 25 countries and 30 states tuned into digital programming this year.

So moving. Thanks for providing this series to learn more about the stories we are obligated to hear and remember.

“

I thought the Holocaust & Humanity Center was the best part of the entire museum experience at Union Terminal. The history that was shown, in the way that it was presented, was absolutely perfect. Seriously, I would come back to this any day of the week, and I am extremely impressed that this level of knowledge is stored at the museum. Thank you so much for this experience, and the chance to both learn and cry.”

“What a wonderful, interactive opportunity to teach younger generations about the humanity of people, all with the hope of inspiring us all to do better and be better!”

“Dimensions in Testimony was amazing. I saw a story about it on 60 Minutes and was so happy to be able to experience it. It was amazing to be able to ask questions to a Holocaust survivor, and I felt like she was in the room with me. It was a very special and emotional experience, for which I am very thankful.”

museums throughout the world where visitors can experience Dimensions in Testimony, a virtual intelligence exhibit featuring two-dimensional displays of Holocaust survivors. Visitors can ask questions and receive responses in real time.

“I thought Dimensions in Testimony was truly wonderful. Having that kind of interaction with the exhibit brought the Holocaust into a much more human perspective. Instead of analyzing the Holocaust from a historic and more objective stance, it really allows someone to examine it from a more emotional stance, and human level.”

Dimensions in Testimony was a devastating, yet very immersive experience.

EDUCATING UPSTANDERS OF TOMORROW

ENSURING THE LESSONS OF THE HOLOCAUST INSPIRE ACTION TODAY

This summer two of our inaugural teachers-inresidence worked on special projects, creating lesson plans and field trip activities using primary sources from HHC’s archives.

We launched our new Teacher Advisory Board. Teacher Advisory Board members will serve as ambassadors for HHC and assist staff in creating resources and professional development based on district needs.

“This is a beautifully interactive museum. I could see the interest on my students’ faces as they were exploring the exhibits.”

- Stella Schafer, McCutcheon High School

As the school year begins, it is imperative that we continue to introduce students to the lessons of the Holocaust. As antisemitic incidents rise across the world and extremism and misinformation increase on social media platforms, now more than ever it is essential that the Holocaust & Humanity Center engage students and teachers with educational experiences that promote inclusion and empathy, while building critical thinking skills. Here is just a snapshot of the important work we’ve accomplished in the past year:

HHC promoted Jodi Elowitz to Chief Learning Officer and hired our first-ever Education Outreach Manager Lauren Karas. With this new role, we’re able to connect more teachers and students to HHC’s dynamic educational programming through expanded outreach and sustained partnerships with area school districts.

We held the Roma & Sam Kaltman Institute on Teaching the Holocaust in June.

Most notably, we are so proud of our new partnership with Cincinnati Public Schools that will enable every freshman to visit the museum at Union Terminal for the next five years. Read about the tremendous impact of this partnership on Page 17. Thank you for your support as we continue our work to ensure the lessons of the Holocaust inspire action today. Together, we can educate and inspire a new generation of upstanders.

TEACHERS

participated in HHC’s professional development workshops and conferences this year.

STUDENTS

engaged with HHC through field trips, youth programming, the Coppel Speakers Bureau, and other educational programming.

“We cannot wait to go back next year. As a teacher, it was one of the best field trips I have personally been on. The students very much enjoyed the ending section on what we can all do to help in today’s world.”

— Ryan Mohan, Shroder High School, Cincinnati Public Schools

IMPACT

CREATING A COMMUNITY OF UPSTANDERS

The Cincy Upstander Project aims to inspire our community to become upstanders through a city-wide art campaign, monthly programs, museum tours, and training opportunities. During the second year of the Cincy Upstander Project, HHC expanded the Cincy Upstander Project art campaign and added new signature events.

WHAT IS AN UPSTANDER?

Upstanders are individuals who stand up for others and their rights. They fight against injustice and unfairness, and they use their character strengths to inspire action and become the best of humanity today. Anyone can be an upstander, and now is the time to be one.

Throughout the year, HHC worked with its creative partner AGAR to develop inspirational upstander murals that feature individuals making a difference in the community. From West Chester to Over-the-Rhine, you’ll find compelling, interactive designs that explain what it means to be an upstander. A new round of designs created this year featured local Holocaust survivors including Edith Carter, Werner Coppel, Al Miller, and Zahava Rendler.

HHC hosted its first Upstander 5K, which took runners and walkers on a scenic route around historic Union Terminal. Walkers and runners enjoyed a party outside of Union Terminal. Holocaust survivor Al Miller walked the 5K with his family — with four generations of Miller mensches (and toddlers) represented.

HHC hosted its first Upstander Service Day, leading a volunteer activity at Freestore Foodbank’s Mayerson Distribution Center right before Thanksgiving. After learning about what it means to be an upstander and why HHC features the Freestore in its Humanity Gallery, volunteers helped pack and organize food products for those in need.

More than 200 people attended the inaugural Upstander Awards Party, which recognized Cincinnatians who use their character strengths to make a difference. This year’s Upstander Awards honored 10 local individuals – ages 18 to 40 – who are creating change in the region and world. From leading community-wide service projects to using their careers to tackle societal issues, these leaders know the importance of giving back.

HHC INVESTS IN COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT WITH TWO NEW STAFF POSITIONSThe N The Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center has added two new positions to expand its upstander and humanity-related work while building community engagement. HHC hired Jackie Congedo as its Chief External Relations & Community Engagement Officer and Jake Campbell as the Upstander Engagement Manager. Both started their roles in July 2022.

MOMENTS OF IMPACT

EVERY CPS NINTH GRADER TO VISIT HHC FOR NEXT FIVE YEARS

VISITORS DRAW PERSONAL CONNECTIONS DURING MUSEUM TOURS

When visitors come through the Holocaust & Humanity Center’s award-winning museum, they connect with the stories of local survivors who rebuilt their lives in Cincinnati after surviving one of the worst atrocities in human history. More than 20,000 people visited the museum this year alone.

While the museum is designed for every visitor to have a meaningful, emotional, and memorable experience, Chief Executive Officer Sarah L. Weiss has witnessed many of those moments. One moment that stands out to her is a recent tour where she met Esteban Calle, a local banking professional who came to Cincinnati as a political refugee from Honduras as a teenager.

The Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center forged a new partnership this year that will expose every freshman from Cincinnati Public Schools to Holocaust education through interactive field trips to the museum.

The partnership enables every CPS freshman to visit the Holocaust & Humanity Center at Union Terminal for the next five years, reaching up to 15,000 students. The partnership is funded by Roger and Julie Heldman, who are passionate about Holocaust education and committed to getting as many students as possible to the museum. They have provided a visionary gift that not only funds the CPS partnership but will help several other districts as well.

“We are proud to fund educational experiences that will influence hearts and minds,” Roger and Julie Heldman said. “We know that through this experience, students are learning about the dangers of prejudice, discrimination and dehumanization, and their responsibility to take action against intolerance and injustice today.”

Social Studies Curriculum Manager for CPS David Traubert said teachers and students have already expressed the profound effect the field trips have had on students’ perspectives.

“Students left the museum with new knowledge about the Holocaust, in addition to feeling inspired about the action they can take to make a difference in the community now. The Humanity Gallery within the museum poses the question, ‘What can you do now?’” Traubert said.

“After visiting the museum, I felt connected to the city in a way that I have never felt before! When we moved to Cincinnati from Ecuador, I was about 14 years old,” Calle said. “We took the Amtrak, and we came in through the same gates at Union Terminal as many of the survivors we got to know in the exhibit. Although our story is nothing compared to the Holocaust survivors and the most extreme example of antisemitism the world has ever seen, we came to Cincinnati looking for a better life and a new home just as they did.

WHAT’S NEXT?

EXPANDED REACH . AMPLIFIED VOICES . BOLDER INNOVATION .

The Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center is headed for remarkable growth. With antisemitic incidents and hate crimes on the rise, our work has never had more urgency than it does in this moment. Here’s what you can expect in the months and years to come.

HHC will benefit from an expanded staff with broader expertise and skill sets.

Your continued support will bolster the organization’s ambitious goals to draw museum visitors from across the nation while being known as one of the top museums in Cincinnati.

HHC will maintain and grow its award-winning museum at the highest standard, adding to its world-class exhibit space. HHC will also bring in renowned traveling exhibits.

HHC will expand its upstander work and humanity-related programs to meet today’s challenges. This reflects HHC’s commitment to creating a community of upstanders in Cincinnati and beyond while addressing the rising tide of hatred and antisemitism in the world right now.

We can’t do this work without you.

In January 2023, HHC will debut a newly redesigned website and expanded digital offerings.

Community support is necessary to ensure that school groups experience the museum, educators are teaching the Holocaust effectively and Cincinnati becomes a community of upstanders.

HHC will create new family and youth leadership programming.

Support our mission and be part of a team that’s creating change today.
