LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
It is my privilege to share with you the Holocaust Museum
Houston 2013-14 Gratitude Report.
This year has been a remarkable year, and my first year serving
as Executive Director. Over the past 12 months, we have
witnessed impressive growth in Museum outreach activities,
programming and fundraising. The 2013 Guardian of the Human
Spirit Luncheon and the 2014 Lyndon Baines Johnson Moral
Courage AwardDinner both raised record amounts and attracted
significant numbers of first-time attendees.
Both “The Wartime Escape” and the “Congressional Gold
Medal” exhibits enjoyed tremendous media attention, generating
surges in visitor attendance. These exhibitions expanded our
partnerships with newHouston-based corporate partners as well
as members of the Houston Japanese community.
On April 15, 2014, the Museum initiated an admissions policy
which was approved unanimously by the Board of Trustees.
Admission is now $8 for senior citizens and $12 for adults,
and HMH remains free for all students and members. This new
revenue stream has enabled theMuseum to enhance educational
programming for the public.
Dear HMH Family and Friends,
KELLY J. ZUNIGA, ED.D., CFRE
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
With expanded and enriched programs, we encourage you to
become a member of the Museum so that you may enjoy the

Thank you for helping us keep thememory of those that perished

and their stories preserved. We look forward to seeing you at
