Ramsey and James Brewster added their voices to the power of partnership with the Museum. Ramsey, formerly chief of the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, D.C., worked with the Museum in 1999 to create a leadership development program for law enforcement that has since trained more than 158,000 officers nationwide. Brewster,
a high school teacher from Austin, Texas, is one of more than 420 Museum Teacher Fellows, representing 49 states, the District of Columbia, and 11 countries, trained since the program began in 1996. Auschwitz survivor and Museum volunteer Irene Weiss, opened the evening with a call to action to keep Holocaust memory alive. Singer, songwriter, and social media influencer Montana Tucker, who is using her platform to raise awareness of the Holocaust and the dangers of antisemitism, led the audience in a closing pledge to the future to educate new generations.
A nonpartisan federal institution, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is America’s national memorial to the victims of the Holocaust, dedicated to ensuring the permanence of Holocaust memory, understanding, and relevance. Through the power of Holocaust history, the Museum challenges leaders and individuals worldwide to think critically about their role in society and to confront antisemitism and other forms of hate, prevent genocide, and promote human dignity.
