In these troubling times, our community must stand together to advance the Museum’s critical mission. With your support, we combat dangerous conspiracy theories and Holocaust distortion, while inspiring new generations within and beyond our walls to confront antisemitism today.
Along with Dinner Chairs Nancy Laben & Jonathan Feiger and Cinthia & Horacio Rozanski, we hope you can join us for an inspiring evening and hear how your support allows us to teach why the Holocaust happened and the importance of confronting antisemitism and hate.

Guest Speakers
Keynote Speaker
- Merrill Eisenhower
Merrill Eisenhower is a business leader, philanthropist, public speaker, and great-grandson of General, and then President, Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Inspired by Ike's insistence on documenting the horror US soldiers found at Nazi concentration camps and its lasting impact on him, Merrill has continued this legacy as a passionate advocate for Holocaust remembrance and education. He has participated in the March of the Living and spoken at related events, as well as made personal visits to other concentration camps, calling on audiences to guard the historical truth amid rising Holocaust denial and antisemitism.
Born into a family with deep Kansas roots, Merrill carries forward a legacy of public service, leadership, and commitment to global understanding. His career spans the oil and gas industry, aviation, international business, diplomacy, development, and strategic leadership. Most recently, Merrill has served as chief strategy officer for organizations including Building Resources (The B.R. Companies), Legacy Health Group (focused on rural healthcare preservation in Kansas), and related entities.
He has previously served as COO and CEO and is currently on the board of People to People International—an organization founded by his great-grandfather President Eisenhower in 1956 to promote peace through cross-cultural understanding.
Merrill has received numerous honors, including being named Honorary Ambassador of Chuncheon City, South Korea, recognized by the Federal Aviation Administration with its Impact Award for his work in Kansas Aviation, named an Ingram’s 40 Under 40 recipient, and the March of the Living Keeper of the Memories award. He holds a BS in history and interpersonal communications from Missouri Western State University and an MBA with an emphasis in international business from Baker University. He resides in Overland Park, Kansas, with his wife, Nicole, and their four children.

Event Leadership
Event Chairs
- Nancy Laben and Jonathan Feiger
Event Co-Chairs
Nancy Laben and Jon Feiger are deeply committed to the cause of Holocaust education and outreach, particularly in public schools and among law enforcement and the military.
Jon's family on his father’s side are Holocaust survivors, having barely escaped Vienna between 1938 and 1941. Jon’s father left Vienna with his older brothers in 1938 after the Anschluss; his grandfather survived Dachau and was later interned by the British on the Isle of Man. His grandmother escaped to Havana in 1941 on the very day she was supposed to report for a transport to Maly Trostenets concentration camp. Many of their aunts, uncles, and cousins were killed. Shortly after arriving in the United States, Jon’s uncle, who is 103 and a founding donor to the Museum, returned to Europe to serve as an intelligence officer after D-Day. He also worked as a translator for the Nuremberg trials.
Jon retired from practicing law to raise their two children. Jon spends his time volunteering in the community, including serving various school and synagogue boards. Currently, Jon serves on the Washington, DC, board of the American Jewish Committee.
Nancy is the chief legal officer and an executive vice president of Booz Allen. She leads the firm’s law department and is responsible for oversight of the company’s legal work. She is a member of Booz Allen’s Leadership Team and also has had oversight for the firm’s media relations, government relations, ethics and compliance, and social impact. She was instrumental in setting up the Jewish Employee Community and a founder of the Booz Allen Foundation. She currently serves on the Wolf Trap Foundation Board of Directors and is an active supporter of the Jewish Graduate Organization, the Conference Board CLO council and Smith College.
Nancy and Jon met in evidence class at Columbia University School of Law. They have lived with their two children in New York, Hong Kong, London, Chicago and now, as empty-nesters, the Washington, DC, area.
- Cinthia and Horacio Rozanski
Event Co-Chairs
Horacio and Cinthia Rozanski have long supported the Museum and its mission to protect the truth of Holocaust history and confront antisemitism and hate.
Horacio serves on the Museum’s Committee on Conscience, whose mandate is to alert the national conscience, influence policy makers, and stimulate worldwide action to confront and work to halt acts of genocide or related crimes against humanity.
Horacio rose from a summer internship at Booz Allen to become its chairman, CEO, and president. He has played an integral role in many of the company’s major strategic initiatives, including the spin-off of the commercial consulting business in 2008 and the successful 2010 initial public offering. He led Booz Allen’s pivotal transformation into the vibrant technology company it is today.
Horacio is also actively involved in the community. He is chairman of the Board for Children’s National Hospital and Vice Chair of the Kennedy Center Corporate Fund Board. Horacio was named to the Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans and received the 2022 Horatio Alger Award.
Horacio was born and raised in Argentina, then moved to the United States to attend college. He holds a BBA from the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire and an MBA from the University of Chicago.
Cinthia moved from Argentina to join Horacio at the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire, after she completed a teaching degree in Hebrew and Jewish Studies. She later graduated with a bachelor’s degree in accounting. She worked as a CPA and has volunteered recording Holocaust survivors’ testimonies for the Shoah Project. Her aunt Eva married Holocaust survivor Sam Silberman, who was an important influence in her family growing up. Horacio and Cinthia’s uncle Sam was always a symbol of resilience, hope, joy, and the strength of Am Israel and the American dream.
