Secure the Future of Holocaust Education: Miami Beach Residents, Vote Yes on Referendum

If you are a resident of Miami Beach, the Jewish community needs your vote to help secure the future of Holocaust education. Whether you are heading to the polls on Election Day, Tuesday, November 2, or plan to cast your ballot early, please vote YES ON REFERENDUM 1, Amending the Lease of City Property: Holocaust Memorial Site. Your yes vote will ensure the future of Holocaust education for the next generation at no cost to taxpayers. The Holocaust Memorial Miami Beach intends to build a state-of-the art learning center with additional classroom and museum space to complement its essential educational work to reach far beyond its 100,000 annual visitors. The Greater Miami Jewish Federation and private donors will fund the construction and maintenance of the learning center in its entirety. Please help us further the memories of the victims and Survivors of the Holocaust, and more effectively confront issues of genocide, antisemitism and hatred in all forms. The Holocaust Memorial Miami Beach is a Committee of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation.
