There has been an outpouring of support from our community expressing their condolences and sharing their appreciation for Boris Chartan and his many contributions to both HMTC and to the larger Jewish community.

Boris laid the foundation for HMTC's critical museum and education programs that reach thousands of students on a daily basis. His legacy will carry on far into the future.

We've received many questions about honoring Boris' memory, and his family welcomes gifts to be made to HMTC in his honor. If you'd like to donate, you can do so below.

Make a Gift in Boris Chartan's Memory

In an interview with a high school student in 2005, Boris shared, "We are here to tell the story to make the young people aware of what hate and intolerance can do to us. Be on guard all the time. When you see intolerance or injustice, speak out and do not keep silent. Silence leads to the destruction of people."

In Boris' memory, and in honor of all Holocaust survivors on this earth and in our hearts -- we promise to continue doing all we can to teach future generations to fight antisemitism and hate.

May Boris' memory forever be a blessing.
