Holocaust Memorial Center: 36th Anniversary Benefit is a streaming fundraiser that replaced the Detroit Holocaust museum’s annual in-person event.

Given the global rise of antisemitism and the present day politically charged environment, the necessity of Holocaust education is more relevant than ever. This project presented a difficult look at the past while providing optimism and hope for the future, through a variety of segments mixing archival footage, survivor testimonials, and present-day reunions. With cameos from Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Nuremberg prosecutor Benjamin Ferencz, and Ed Asner, the fundraiser was hosted by Alexandra Silber and featured musical performances by Broadway stars Joshua Henry and Adam Kantor.

HMC 36th Anniversary Benefit was produced in collaboration with Adam Kantor and Bright Bean Entertainment.
