Endowments through the Jewish Foundation of Greater Dayton help support a wide variety of programs and services provided through the Jewish Federation of Greater Dayton, Jewish Family Services, and the Jewish Community Center. Several funds were established to provide scholarship opportunities to local youth, including the Wolfe Marcus Fund, which was established to provide scholarships for local youth who are planning to travel to Israel. Legacy gifts help the Federation and its agencies meet their missions, and provide programs and services for generations to come.

Eighty Years Later

As we prepare to remember and honor those who perished and survived during the Holocaust, we must not forget the stories of the Liberators. At this Sunday’s Yom Hashoah Observance, we will hear from Elaine Buckler, who will share the story of her father, Paul Buckler, who participated in the liberation of Dachau Concentration Camp on April 29, 1945. I was fortunate enough to hear another liberator’s story earlier this week, when I attended the 45th Annual Governor’s Holocaust Commemoration. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine shared the story of his father, who participated in the liberation of Dachau as part of...
