Thousands
of children all over the world have participated in
the Tree-By-Tree project, purchasing one tree at a time
with the goal of creating and dedicating a forest in
Israel in memory of the 1.5 million children who perished
in the Holocaust.
Thanks
to the combined efforts of committed children, the Tree-By-Tree
forest is no longer a dream. The Center for Holocaust
and Humanity Education together with the Jewish National
Fund are now preparing to inaugurate this unique forest
in Israel.

| Finding
Family |
Finding
Family is an Emmy nominated one hour-long documentary
produced by Channel 12 WKRC-TV in conjunction with
The Center for Holocaust and Humanity Education.
Finding Family follows Henry (Heinzi) Blumenstein,
a social worker and grandfather in America, on a
journey back to Europe to meet the descendents of
the family who saved him 60 years ago. It is an
uplifting story of courage and hope and a moving
testament to love and kindness. As we journey with
Henry to reconnect with his foster family, we learn
the true meaning of belonging in the human family.
