Remembering the Vanished Jewish
World
Dame Vivien Duffield and the Clore
Israel Foundation recently announced the endowment of “I Still See
Their Eyes: The Vanished Jewish World” —the introductory gallery
of Yad Vashem’s new Holocaust History Museum. The
section will tell the story of the culturally rich and
multi-faceted community of European Jewry between the two world
wars.
Philanthropy runs deep in Dame
Vivien’s family. Her father, Sir Charles Clore z”l, was
renowned for
his charitable work, and Dame Vivien has continued his legacy
through the patronage of arts, museums and educational initiatives
in the UK and in Israel. She is an honorary fellow of the City of
Jerusalem, Deputy Chairman of the Board of the Weizmann Institute
and is also involved in the restoration and ongoing support of the
Migdal David Museum—the Museum of the History of Jerusalem—one of
the Clore Foundation’s flagship projects.
Yad Vashem is profoundly grateful to
Dame Vivien Duffield and the Clore Israel Foundation for their
efforts in helping preserve the memory of Jewish life before the
Shoah, which will no doubt captivate and inform visitors
for generations to come.
