Celebrating the Legacy of Irena Sendler
Irena Sendler was born 113 years ago, on February 15th. We remember this incredible woman with great admiration. We were with her about a week before her passing in 2008. She continued to speak about the brave Jewish people of the Warsaw Ghetto and the ‘righteous gentiles’ who helped save many.
Reminder: ARTEFFECT Submission Deadline is April 1, 2023.
The Unsung Heroes ARTEFFECT 2023 Competition invites submissions from all middle and high school students interested in making a positive impact through their art.
An Unsung Hero is an individual who is largely unrecognized by society for taking extraordinary actions to improve the lives of others, while making a profound and positive impact on history.
The 2023 Discovery Award Competition, sponsored by the Lowell Milken Center for Unsung Heroes, is underway.
