THE JOSEPH AND REBECCA MEYERHOFF ANNUAL LECTURE (FALL)
The Joseph and Rebecca Meyerhoff Annual Lecture on the Holocaust was endowed by the Meyerhoff family in 1994 to honor excellence in research and foster dissemination of cutting-edge scholarly work in the field of Holocaust Studies. Joseph and Rebecca Meyerhoff of Baltimore, Maryland, were active philanthropists in the United States and abroad, focusing especially on Jewish learning and scholarship, as well as on music, the arts, and humanitarian causes. Their children, Eleanor Katz and Harvey M. Meyerhoff, who is Member and Chairman Emeritus of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council, have endowed this lecture, which is organized by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies.
