LOS ANGELES, May 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- American Society for Yad Vashem, the organization dedicated to advancing Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Authority on the Mount of Remembrance in Jerusalem and The Jewish Life Foundation which funds the creation of Jewish-themed cultural and educational programs on Jewish Life Television (JLTV) hosts their third annual benefit gala, A Salute to Hollywood, Monday, June 6, 2016 at The Beverly Wilshire Hotel, Beverly Hills. The evening will honor Holocaust survivors including Hollywood producers Meyer Gottlieb and Branko Lustig with the Legacy Award; Entertainment Group President/COO Janice Min and EVP/Group Publisher Lynne Segall, on behalf of The Hollywood Reporter, with the Vanguard Award and real estate developer and philanthropist David Wiener with the Lifetime Achievement Award. Actor Tony Goldwyn and Jeffrey Katzenberg will present. Elissa and Edward Czuker are Co-chairs.
"The inspiration for this year's gala came straight from the pages of The Hollywood Reporter," said Ron Meier, American Society for Yad Vashem Executive Director, "Their groundbreaking story, 'The Last Survivors' appeared in December, 2015 and chronicled the stories of the 11 Holocaust survivors alive today who had each forged a prominent place in the entertainment industry. Two of those featured, Meyer Gottlieb and Branko Lustig, are among our honorees this year. It is through their stories and those of all Holocaust survivors that the history and significance of the Holocaust is imparted to our future generations." "Thanks to the ongoing support of the Hollywood community, this year's event will be another great success," stated Phil Blazer, Founder and CEO of JLTV.
Sponsorship packages begin at $10,000; individual tickets, $1000 and $500. For information, please contact Michelle Sinnreich at [email protected] or phone (212) 220-4304.
