HUMANITARIAN AWARDS DINNER

Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center hosted its annual Humanitarian Awards Dinner at the Hyatt Regency Chicago honoring the resilience and strength of Holocaust Survivors on the 80th anniversary year of liberation. More than 1,300 guests came together to pay tribute to this year’s honorees —Ann and James Goodman and Sidney Austin LLP. During the evening guests also heard from former CIA Director retired U.S. Army General David H. Petraeus, who reflected on our military’s involvement in liberation and shared his expertise in current events shaping our world today. The event also honored two WWII veterans who courageously fought against the Nazis and proudly served our nation. This signature fundraiser is consistently one of the most successful in Chicago with a sold-out crowd of business, civic, and community leaders in attendance. Funds raised support the Museum’s mission to honor the memories of those who were lost in the Holocaust and teach universal lessons that combat hatred, prejudice, and indifference. ilholocaustmuseum.org
