Barry Manilow Endorses Museum Of Jewish Heritage
Broadway World, 12 August 2019

The Museum of Jewish Heritage - A Living Memorial to the Holocaust is releasing a series of digital spots from celebrities and elected officials that encourage people to visit the most comprehensive Holocaust exhibition about Auschwitz ever exhibited in North America. Auschwitz. Not long ago. Not far away. The groundbreaking exhibition is now open through January 3, 2020 in New York City. The digital spots are running on digital platforms Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. They feature: Internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter Barry Manilow - who is now in a limited engagement at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on Broadway - and his co-songwriter Bruce Sussman, who together created the musical, "Harmony," set in Germany during the 1920s and 1930s; Emmy Award-winning actor Julianna Margulies; U.S. Congressmember Carolyn Maloney, a proponent of Holocaust education; Dr. Ruth Westheimer; New York City Council Speaker Corey Johnson; and Theatrical award nominee and winner Steven Skybell, currently starring in the Off-Broadway production of "Fiddler on the Roof" in Yiddish ... "We can never erase from our memory the knowledge that at least six million Jewish people were murdered. Six million. Many people are claiming, incredibly, that the Holocaust never happened. That is one reason why this exhibit is so important. All people, especially young people, must never forget what happened," Barry Manilow said ...
