HMLA CEO
Beth Kean, survivor Joseph Alexander and
Schwarzenegger, culminated the event by
lighting a “Flame of Courage,” which was
then transported by special LAPD police
escort to Holocaust Museum LA where it will
find its permanent home.
Kean said, “Holocaust Museum
LA’s mission of education to fight
antisemitism and stop hate is more critical
than ever. Both Arnold and our survivors
have demonstrated throughout their lives the
courage, determination, strength and
resiliency to remind the world that we must
never forget the critical lessons of the
past.
The gala raised more than
$1.2 million to support Holocaust Museum
LA’s work to teach future generations about
the critical lessons and continued social
relevance of the Holocaust, empowering them
to stand up against hatred, bigotry and
antisemitism.
