17-18 AwardsProgram.indd 2 3/2/18 4:48 PM The Holocaust Art and Writing Contest was launched in 1999 as a partnership between the Rodgers Center for Holocaust Education at Chapman University and The “1939” Club, now The 1939 Society, an Organization of Holocaust Survivors, Descendants, and Friends. Each year, the contest has grown, now including 255 public, private, and parochial schools across the nation and several countries. This growth would not have been possible without the extraordinary support of the Samueli Foundation. Thanks to the generosity of Dana and Yossie Hollander, we are able to offer first-place students and their teachers an expense-paid study trip to visit the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust, the Museum of Tolerance, and other sites in Los Angeles. A special word of appreciation must go to Louis Weber and Publications International for their years of extraordinary support and the nearly 7,500 copies of The Holocaust Chronicle: A History in Words and Pictures they have donated. Thanks to Publications International, each student representative receives a book which they can have signed by Holocaust survivors and other guests attending the reception following the awards ceremony. With these signatures, each book becomes a unique testimony to the memories created on this very special day in which witnesses to the Holocaust meet their witnesses to the future.
We extend our appreciation to Sodexo for their generous contribution to the reception following the Awards Ceremony.
We are grateful to Chapman University Enrollment Services for donating Chapman University t-shirts to contest finalists.
Chapman University institutional items have been generously donated by Strategic Marketing and Communications. Today’s students explore passionately in order to keep the stories alive and bring awareness to all survivors. Congratulations.

March 9, 2018
Dear Friends,
It gives me great pleasure to offer my appreciation to the Rodgers Center for Holocaust Education, the 1939 Society, and Chapman University for coordinating the Holocaust Art and Writing Contest.
Through the years, your hard work and dedication has created a unique opportunity for middle and high school students to interact and study the Holocaust by unique & creative means. You have given the thousands of students who participate in this competition the gift of narrative, new perspective and a strong platform to discuss themes central to both the Holocaust and ethical decision making in our world today. Thank you for your commitment to continually provide our students in Southern California with the opportunity to simultaneously engage with history and to see history come to life. I am confident that the opportunities you provide for students to share their creative work with Holocaust survivors is not one that anyone will forget.
To the students who participated in this year’s competition – congratulations, but also, thank you. Thank you for sharing a piece of yourself and diving deep into parts of our history that others would rather choose to ignore. This is a proud moment for everyone involved.
Congratulations, and I look forward to your continued success and leadership.
Sincerely,
EDWARD R. ROYCE Member of Congress Chairman, House of Foreign Affairs Committee
