20th Annual Generation to Generation Dinner
Thursday, November 6, 2008
Museum of Jewish Heritage

This year’s dinner honored Rosa Strygler, Museum Trustee Emeritus, for her role in the formation of the Associates Division and her extraordinary dedication to the Museum. The dinner also marked the 20th anniversary of the Museum’s first mission to Poland in 1988. Joseph Rubach, the second generation speaker spoke about the impact the 1988 Mission had on his life. Sponsored by the Museum’s Associates and Young Friend’s Divisions, this gathering of Holocaust survivors, their families, friends, and supporters pays tribute to the six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust, while honoring those individuals who survived to rebuild their families and greater cultural communities. Accompanying the event was a dinner Journal with ads from individuals and businesses.
