Thirty years ago, Holocaust Museum Houston opened its doors with one conviction: that memory, taught with integrity, could change the world. Last night, nearly 1,000 people proved that conviction is still very much alive.

At our 2026 Lyndon Baines Johnson Moral Courage Award Dinner, we celebrated 30 years of education, remembrance, and action. But milestones ask us to look ahead, not just back.

The next 30 years will require allyship. It will require people of every background to step forward and say: this is my responsibility, too. That truth has never been more urgent. This year’s LBJ Moral Courage Award honoree, Emmy Award-winning actress and activist Patricia Heaton, embodies exactly that. She chose to stand with the Jewish community publicly and at personal cost — not because she was asked to, but because she understood that silence is also a choice.

“There is no small effort here… We always must stand up.” — Patricia Heaton

Thank you to our Dinner Chairs Jeannie and Gary Wermuth, Host Committee Chairs Nancy and Jack Dinerstein, and every supporter who made this night possible.

To the survivors in that room — and to those we lost this past year — we carry you forward. Here’s to the next 30 years of legacy, education and hope.

Yom HaShoah is about remembrance, but also responsibility.

The fighters of the Warsaw Ghetto rose up not because the odds were in their favor, but because surrendering their humanity was never an option. They remind us why we remember: to honor the murdered, to tell the truth, and to make sure Jewish pain is never erased.

They also remind us why we keep fighting: because survival matters, dignity matters, and our people have always answered darkness with defiance.

We remember them in grief. We honor them in how we live.

February 5, 1943: the Jews of Salonika (Thessaloniki), Greece were ordered to wear yellow stars.

For centuries before that, Salonika was one of the great Jewish cities of the world — a thriving Sephardic community shaped by Ladino language, scholarship, trade, and civic life. On the eve of the Holocaust, more than 50,000 Jews lived there.

And in less than six months, over 90% were murdered.

After the German occupation of Greece, restrictions escalated into forced labor, confiscations, humiliation — and then the final step: ghettos near the rail lines and deportations to Auschwitz. A vibrant world was nearly erased.

Salonika’s story is still too often overlooked, in part because it doesn’t fit the most familiar narratives of Holocaust memory. But remembering it matters. The Holocaust destroyed not only lives, but entire civilizations.
