  • OUR HOLOCAUST PROGRAMMING EDUCATES AND PROMOTES A GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF THE EXTERMINATION OF JEWS AND OTHER ETHNICITIES LEADING UP TO WORLD WAR II. OUR MAIN TOOL TO MEET THIS MISSION IS THRU THE "HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL MUSEUM OF SAN ANTONIO" (HMMSA). HMMSA HONORS THE MEMORY OF THE JEWS WHOSE LIVES WERE CONSUMED IN THE WAVE OF NAZI HATRED AND VIOLENCE THAT ENGULFED EUROPE FROM 1933-1945 THROUGH ITS EXHIBITS AND EDUCATIONAL LESSONS WHICH EXPLORE ISSUES OF BIGOTRY, RACISM AND INDIFFERENCE. THE MUSEUM AND OUTREACH PROGRAMS ARE DEDICATED TO CREATE A MORE JUST SOCIETY THAT RECOGNIZES THE INHERENT VALUE OF EVERY INDIVIDUAL AND CELEBRATES THE COMMON HUMANITY OF ALL PEOPLE. HMMSA HAS IMPACTED OVER 40,000 STUDENTS AND VISITORS ANNUALLY BY ITS PROGRAMS THROUGH SCHOOLS, OTHER ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS AND THE INTERNET.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
