THE HOLOCAUST MUSEUM AND LEARNING

Center opened its doors to the St. Louis

community in 1995, and has since welcomed

tens of thousands of visitors, who learn more about

the Holocaust, as well as become more informed

about discrimination and other concerns in the

post-Holocaust world. In recognizing its 20th

year in the community, the museum is hosting an

anniversary gala on Thursday, Aug. 20 at The Ritz-

Carlton, St. Louis.

Museum director Jean Cavender says this mile-

stone means “so much” to the museum, which is a

department of the Jewish Federation of St. Louis.

“This organization really started in a small office

downtown,” she explains. “There was a Holocaust

commission, comprised of people who made it

their life’s work to engage Holocaust speakers

around the community. That was just the begin-

ning of people starting to come out of their shells
