Rosenfeld’s Holocaust Education Fund receives $25,000 matching grant

L to R: Warren Rosenfeld, fund holder and founder of the Rosenfeld Holocaust Education Fund, with Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore President Erica Joseph.

The Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore is pleased to share that the Rosenfeld Holocaust Education Fund has received a generous matching grant from the Robert I. Schattner Foundation and Sidney and Phyllis Bresler. Every dollar contributed to the fund will be matched up to $25,000. The Rosenfeld Holocaust Education Fund provides transportation and admission costs for students and educators visiting the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., providing an invaluable opportunity to learn firsthand about history, tolerance, and human rights.

This past school year, 8 different schools totaling almost 1,000 students and chaperones were able to visit the Holocaust Memorial Museum with all expenses paid. With the expansion of the fund and the matching grant opportunity, fund founder Warren Rosenfeld hopes to expand the program to serve more students across the Lower Shore.

“Growing up, I didn’t realize the impact of the Holocaust on my own family. As I learned more, it felt imperative for me to share their stories,” said Rosenfeld. “I want to help future generations recognize the legacy of hate and also the power of hope by exposing as many young people as possible to the National Holocaust Museum. I appreciate all those who are joining me in this cause by supporting this fund.”
