We are All Immigrants:
Taking a Stand for Never Again
Wednesday, the Center commemorated Holocaust Remembrance Day with a speaker who presented his parents' stories of survival to an overflow audience.
Like millions of others, Izak and Magda Schaloum were expelled from their homes and endured extraordinary and unimaginable hardship in concentration camps and refugee camps before finally immigrating to the United States, to a new life and safety in Seattle.
Today, as our immigrant neighbors face discrimination, threats, and uncertainty, we are grateful to Seattle Mayor Ed Murray who named Seattle a sanctuary city, where hatred has no home. The Holocaust Center is dedicated to teaching tolerance and citizenship through lessons of the Holocaust, never more important than right now.
Thank you for supporting the Holocaust Center for Humanity.
