Ackerman Center for Holocaust Studies

The Ackerman Center for Holocaust Studies is raising funds to support new collaborative relationships that it is fostering in Latin America, such as with the Museum of Memory and Tolerance in Mexico City. These funds will be used to jointly present scholarly lectures, symposiums, conferences, workshops, and sponsor student internships. Gifts are being matched dollar-for-dollar up to $8,000, due to the generosity of the Friends of the Ackerman Center and Bert and Terry Romberg
