Actress Emmy Rossum will emcee the “2021 Western Region Virtual Event” to benefit the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. The event takes place on March 11 at 7 p.m. It brings together members of the Western Region community in support of the efforts of the D.C.-based Museum. Supporters from 10 western states will share their commitment that the critical lessons of the Holocaust–lessons about the fragility of societies, the nature of hate, and the consequences of indifference–help shape the nation’s way forward.
The annual “What You Do Matters” Western Region Dinner is normally held in Los Angeles and historically attracts up to 1,000 guests. This year, the virtual event will feature the theme of “Survival, Hope and Resilience.” The program will include testimonies from Holocaust survivors and liberators as narrated by celebrities including Morgan Freeman, Jamie Lee Curtis, Camryn Manheim and Tim Matheson. The event will also include special musical performances and important messages about the Museum’s role in these challenging times.
