One Act, Infinite Impact: Annual Meeting 2023

 

Join the Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center for our 2023 Annual Meeting on October 24 as we celebrate a pivotal year of amplifying our work of ensuring history inspires transformative impact in our community.

 

This year’s speaker is Elisha Wiesel, the son of Holocaust survivor and Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel. Core to our mission, Elie Wiesel famously said in a speech about the perils of indifference: “The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference.”

 

As the Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center grows its work in remarkable ways, be a part of our community as we showcase the ripple effects of our mission. From Upstander Award winners joining forces to tackle systemic issues in Cincinnati to local educators using our resources to reach thousands of students in profound ways, we have witnessed how one act can have infinite impact. Through countless experiences in the past year, our organization has played a part in the cascading effects of change. When we use our character strengths to lean into creating positive impact, together we can quell the rising tide of hate.

 

Join us, October 24, 7 p.m., at historic Union Terminal.
