How to support POLIN Museum

California lawmakers have recognized Tad Taube for his lifetime of contributions to society through service and leadership.

In April, Tad Taube was presented with the Distinguished Humanitarian Service Award for Lifetime Achievement from Jewish Family and Children’s Services for the remarkable and lasting success of his philanthropic endeavors. In recognition of this award and appreciation for his service, Tad received a Certificate of Commendation from U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein and Certificates of Recognition from California assemblymembers David Chiu (District 17) and Philip Ting (District 19).

From his immigrant childhood, through his military service and extraordinary business career, Tad has never forgotten the lessons of his youth. He has spent a lifetime strengthening the Jewish People and elevating the quality of life for all of us – both at home and abroad. … I congratulate Tad Taube on this well-deserved recognition and extend my best wishes for many more years of success. – Sen. Dianne Feinstein

The California Legislature applauds [Tad’s] ongoing commitment to fulfilling philanthropic endeavors, [his] generosity of time and energy, and unwavering dedication to improving societal challenges in San Francisco and throughout the Bay Area – Assemblymember David Chiu

[Tad’s] leadership through [his] military service, career in business, and work on behalf of our community in empowering the Jewish People is commendable. – Assemblymember Philip Ting

We are gratefull to Tad Taube for continued support for POLIN Museum.

Thanks to a private donation of Eric Salama, head of one of the largest market research agencies, we are able to launch several vital research projects in 2017, i.a. evaluation of temporary exhibitions or thorough study of the Museum visitors’ experience.

The data acquired in this way will help us provide for the needs and perspectives of our audience while realizing our Museum’s mission.

The Association of the Jewish Historical Institute of Poland has released a photo report on the commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and the unveiling of the Museum of the History of Polish Jews. Thank you for being with us during those symbolic and crucial days in April.

We are delighted to welcome Larry and Klara Silverstein as Distinguished Benefactors of the Museum of the History of Polish Jews. At the end of 2012, Mr. and Mrs. Silverstein made a very generous donation to the Core Exhibition of the Museum of the History of Polish Jews.

Larry Silverstein is the President and CEO of Silverstein Properties Inc., a leading American real estate company responsible for rebuilding the World Trade Center in New York. Mr. Silverstein is also a business partner of Museum Distinguished Benefactor Jan Kulczyk, Ph.D, with whom he runs Kulczyk Silverstein Properties in Warsaw.

Mr. and Mrs. Silverstein devote much of their time and resources to support many philanthropic endeavors. They are long-time supporters of NYU and Hunter College, the NYU School of Medicine, and active supporters of United Jewish Appeal Federation of Jewish Philanthropies. They are also staunch supporters of the arts.

In October 2012, with the support of Silverstein Properties, the Museum launched its campaign in the USA with an event at 7 World Trade Center. It was a unique opportunity for the Museum to introduce its rich cultural and educational offerings to the Jewish community in New York.

Thanks to donors like Larry and Klara Silverstein, the dream of the Museum is coming true.
