Mission and programs · 2024

• IN 2024, WE HAD 54,000 VISITORS WHO LEARNED ABOUT THE HOLOCAUST THROUGH OUR EXHIBITS. OF THESE, 35,000 WERE STUDENTS AND ADULTS WHO VISITED THE HC WITH THEIR SCHOOLS, COMPANIES OR COMMUNITY GROUPS AND WERE EDUCATED THROUGH GUIDED TOURS AND PRESENTATIONS BY HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS OR CHILDREN OF HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS. 11,500 OTHERS TOURED THE HC WITH THEIR FAMILIES OR MADE USE OF OUR LIBRARY ARCHIVE. THESE VISITORS CAME FROM THROUGHOUT THE STATE, AS WELL AS MANY FROM OHIO, INDIANA, AND ONTARIO, AND FROM ALMOST EVERY ONE OF THE 50 STATES. THEY REFLECTED THE DIVERSE RACIAL AND RELIGIOUS COMPOSITION OF OUR REGION.

  Expenses $2,849,325

• WE OPERATED OUR STATEWIDE EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH PROGRAM IN RESPONSE TO THE STATE MANDATE THAT PUBLIC SCHOOLS PROVIDE SIX HOURS OF HOLOCAUST AND GENOCIDE EDUCATION TO STUDENTS IN GRADES 8-12. SINCE 2018, 2,400 TEACHERS HAVE PARTICIPATED IN OUR HOLOCAUST EDUCATION TRAINING SEMINARS FOR MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS. THIS YEAR, 425 INDIVIDUAL TEACHERS REPRESENTING 62 MICHIGAN COUNTIES RECEIVED TRAINING. IN 2024, THESE EDUCATORS REACHED OVER 400,000 STUDENTS. OUR OUTREACH EMPOWERS TEACHERS TO USE THE LESSONS OF THE HOLOCAUST TO HELP STUDENTS UNDERSTAND THE DANGERS OF UNCHECKED HATRED AND ANTISEMITISM, AND TO RECOGNIZE THAT THEIR INDIVIDUAL CHOICES MATTER IN COMBATTING THEM.

  Expenses $1,187,219

• WE PRESENTED A WIDE ARRAY OF PUBLIC PROGRAMS ON EVENINGS AND WEEKENDS FEATURING MOVIES, LECTURES, AUTHOR PRESENTATIONS, AND TALKS BY HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS. TOPICS COVERED IN 2024 INCLUDED A MUSICAL PROGRAM MEMORIALIZING A HOLOCAUST VICTIM, THE STORY OF A WWII-ERA JEWISH CHAMPIONSHIP SOCCER TEAM, A PROGRAM ABOUT ANTISEMITISM YESTERDAY AND TODAY, THE HISTORY OF THE NAZI PERSECUTION OF LGBTQ+ PEOPLE, A PRESENTATION ABOUT A COOKBOOK BY AUSCHWITZ SURVIVORS, AND A VIRTUAL GUIDED TOUR OF THE AUSCHWITZ MEMORIAL IN POLAND. SOME PROGRAMS WERE HELD VIRTUALLY OR AS A HYBRID, REACHING 1,600 PEOPLE FROM AROUND THE WORLD, AND OTHERS WERE IN-PERSON, REACHING ANOTHER 3,424 PEOPLE.

  Expenses $712,331

• IN 2024, WE PRESENTED A SPECIAL EXHIBIT, "SWEET HOME SWEET: A STORY OF SURVIVAL MEMORY, AND RETURNS". THIS TRAVELING EXHIBIT, ON LOAN FROM THE GALICIA JEWISH MUSEUM IN POLAND, FEATURED THE WORK OF AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER RICHARD ORES. HIS PHOTOS RECORDED HIS LIFE BEFORE THE HOLOCAUST, AND HIS IMPRISONMENT IN THE KRAKOW GHETTO AND PLASZOW LABOR AND CONCENTRATION CAMP. AFTER THE WAR, HE UNEARTHED HIS HIDDEN PHOTOS, TACTILE REMINDERS OF THE PEOPLE AND PLACES HE MISSED WHILE HE BUILT AND PHOTOGRAPHED HIS NEW LIFE IN AMERICA. THE OPENING PROGRAM FOR THIS EXHIBIT FEATURED TOMASZ STRUG, THE CHIEF CURATOR OF THE GALICIA JEWISH MUSEUM. IN RESPONSE TO THE TOXIC UPTICK IN ANTISEMITIC ACTIVITY ON U.S. COLLEGE CAMPUSES FOLLOWING THE OCTOBER 7, 2023 ATTACK BY HAMAS ON ISRAEL, WE EXPANDED OUR STATEWIDE COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY INITIATIVE IN 2024. ITS GOAL IS TO EDUCATE STUDENTS AND FACULTY ON CAMPUSES ACROSS THE STATE ABOUT THE LESSONS OF THE HOLOCAUST, FOSTERING A SAFE AND INCLUSIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT. HOLOCAUST EDUCATION IS A PROVEN BULWARK AGAINST ANTISEMITISM, AS IT SIGNIFICANTLY TRACKS WITH REDUCED BELIEF IN ANTISEMITIC TROPES.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

The first 25 listed. 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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
