Kraft family gives $1 million to U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum
The Kraft family recently gave $1 million to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’s American College Youth Initiative, becoming part of the organization’s Founding Society as a result.
A release from the museum said that the gift, from the Robert and Myra Kraft Family Foundation, was part of a larger fundraising campaign led by Night author and honorary chair Elie Wiesel to “keep Holocaust memory alive as a relevant, transformative force in the 21st century.’’
The New England Patriots owner and his family are active philanthropists, and Robert is a trustee of several organizations including Boston College, Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Greater Boston, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, Jewish Campus Life Fund, and USA Bid Committee.
The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is located in Washington, D.C.
