The 2015 Luisa and Stephen Hornstein Program in Remembrance of the Holocaust and the Human Spirit is co-sponsored by the Center for Holocaust and Humanity Education and Issac M. Wise Temple. “The Annual Hornstein Program in Remembrance of the Holocaust and the Human Spirit” was established in memory of Drs. Stephen and Lusia Hornstein, local Holocaust survivors and doctors who served the Cincinnati community for many years. The endowment fund at Wise Temple provides an annual program in remembrance of the Holocaust to honor the memory of the Hornsteins’ and their extraordinary lives of achievement, courage, optimism and goodness.
