The Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage received a major $100,000.00 distribution from the law firm of Dworken & Bernstein. The award is from unclaimed funds generated in class actions directed to meet the needs of the community. Over the years, more than $37 million has been distributed to hundreds of charitable causes.
Irving Rosner, Partner at Dworken and Bernstein spoke to this cause, “Hate is the most dangerous disease affecting humankind and addressing and stopping ‘hate’ is the most vital of all issues we all need to confront.”
The Maltz Museum attracts over 30,000 visitors annually to programs such as “Stop The Hate,” and “Introduction to Themes of the Holocaust,” and many students visit on school tours to learn about the importance of being “upstanders,” speaking and acting out to eliminate hate, intolerance and racism.
“We look to our past so we can understand the present and create a better future,” explained David Schafer, the Maltz Museum’s Managing Director. “Today, students are confronted with and are fighting against issues like racism, abelsim, homophobia, xenophobia, and more. We are so grateful to Dworken & Berstein for their generous distribution, so these students can know they are not alone.”
