Dinner & Theatre
Nov. 20 * 6:30 pm
Marcus Center for the Performing Arts
Seventy-five years ago, the world was silent. Today, we remember, we speak out and we educate. The Nathan & Esther Pelz Holocaust Education Resource Center invites you to this event that will mark the 75th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the vicious Nazi pogroms that forecasted the extreme violence of the Holocaust. "The Trial of FDR" by Robert Krakow, is a 35 minute one act play telling the story of the MS St. Louis. The evening aims to educate and inspire, to honor those who survived the ordeal of the MS St. Louis and to remember those who did not.

Smart Philanthropy
| |
Establishing a donor advised philanthropic fund is smart philanthropy. It simplifies the process of charitable giving, offers an immediate tax deduction, enables you to turn non-cash assets into charitable gifts and allows you to recommend gifts to the charities of your choice. And a fund can be created for as little as $2,500.
