There's more to Omaha than beef

Sixty two years ago, as Allied armies charged across Europe administering the final blow to Adolph Hitler’s third Reich, the world learned that the unimaginable had occurred - that millions of innocent people had been slaughtered in Nazi concentration camps.

Six Million men, women, and children of the Jewish faith along with millions of other innocent people were murdered in one of the worst genocides in the history of humankind. The shocking implications of the mass murder of such a large number of people are nearly impossible to grasp. Each lost individual represents a mother, a father, a brother, a sister, a child, and the loss of unknown intellectual potential - scientists, doctors, lawyers, farmers, teachers and…

The Holocaust must serve as a horrific example that people of goodwill must face unpleasant truths and oppose anti-Semitism, racism and bigotry wherever it surfaces. It is incumbent upon us to remember the lessons of history. We as Jews cannot grow complacent - comforted by the passing of time or the security of affluence and distance.

The Holocaust is not only about the past, it is about the current inflamed world where prejudice and radicalism threatens to destroy freedom-loving people. In today’s world, intolerance flourishes; human rights are too often denied; and genocide is met with ineffective opposition and/or apathy.

We as Jews must recognize the moral imperative of teaching young people about the defining moments of the Holocaust and the central importance of passing these lessons on to future generations.

The NHEF’S goal is to fund Holocaust education courses at Universities and Colleges in the State of Nebraska and beyond. The endowment is currently funding Holocaust education courses at the following Universities:

University of Nebraska at Omaha
University of Nebraska at Lincoln
Creighton University Omaha Nebraska
University of Nebraska at Kearney
Wayne State College

With your support, we can make an important difference in the lives of our future leaders as they gain greater understanding of the lingering and serious impact of the Holocaust.

Together, the JMA and the National Holocaust Endowment Fund will work to ensure a future filled with the promise of equality for people of all backgrounds. This is an opportunity of a lifetime and we hope you join us in remembering our past and celebrating our future.

Please join us May 22 in honoring the NHEF and its founders, Sam and Frances Fried. The JMA hopes that as many people as possible can attend this exciting and meaningful event. We look forward to meeting you in Omaha Nebraska!

"The visual evidence and the verbal testimony
of starvation, cruelty and bestiality were...
overpowering... I made the visit deliberately in order
to be in a position to give first-hand evidence
of these things if ever, in the future,
there develops a tendency to charge these
allegations merely to 'propaganda.' "

General Dwight D. Eisenhower's
letter to General George C. Marshall
dated April 15, 1945

IF THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD TOOK THE TIME TO HAVE A MINUTE OF
SILENCE FOR EVERY VICTIM MURDERED IN THE HOLOCAUST, THE
WORLD WOULD BE SILENT FOR ELEVEN YEARS AND FIVE MONTHS
