Levines Honored as Guardians of the Human Spirit

Almost 1,100 people were on hand Nov. 2 as Holocaust Museum Houston honored two longtime supporters of the Museum and who

have devoted much of their adult lives to other charities as well as Houston’s 2015 “Guardians of the Human Spirit.”

In 1995, Holocaust Museum

Houston launched “The Butterfly

Project,” an educational study

program designed to teach

young people about the

experiences of 1.5 million

children who perished during

the Holocaust.

Since that time, 1.5 million handcrafted butterflies from students of all

ages and from all across the world have been collected and will now

be part of one of the most important art exhibits ever – 1.5 million

expressions of hope and remembrance.

Holocaust Museum Houston plans to share this long-awaited Butterfly

Project touring exhibit at high-visibility locations throughout Houston

during our 20th anniversary celebration, March 2016 through March

2017, kicking off the year with an invitation-only VIP launch party at

Neiman Marcus in the Galleria. The exhibit will continue to travel until it

becomes a permanent exhibit at the Museum.
