Executive Leadership

For now, our executive leadership consists of the founder of this exhibit and a young entrepreneur who designs and implements the marketing materials and digital exhibits. The hope is to grow the executive leadership as the project grows.

Silicon Valley Holocaust Remembrance Association

SVHRA, or formally SVHSA (Silicon Valley Holocaust Survivors Association), is a subsidiary of the JSV - Jewish Silicon Valley. Until recently the group was focused on programming for survivors; however, now that we’ve entered the post-survivor era, the group is focused on bringing Holocaust awareness and remembrance to the communities of Silicon Valley. As such, CHAIM has partnered with the group, with the hopes of realizing the goal of increased awareness and remembrance.

Visioning Team

The visioning team consists of several people who have an interest in Holocaust education to help bring the idea to fruition. Many of them are children of Holocaust survivors and would love a way to honor the memories of our families.
