Holocaust Remembrance Association Kingwood nonprot promotes healing, Holocaust education R ozalie Jerome has dedicated much of her adult life to healing—healing for herself, for her family and for a generation of individuals who were aected by the Holocaust. BY WESLEY GARDNER
The Holocaust Remembrance Association hosts and helps to facilitate a number of Marches of Remembrances each year to honor those who were aected by the Holocaust. Jerome noted one focus of the nonprot is to raise up the rescuers instead of xating on the atrocities. Additionally, Jerome said the nonprot is preparing for the opening of its Holocaust Garden of Hope—a free outdoor museum that will focus on the Holocaust experiences of children using paintings, sculptures and interactive displays to deliver its message of hope in a family-friendly format. Jerome noted the rst phase of the garden— which she said she hopes will inspire attendees to visit Holocaust Museum Houston—will be debuted at this year’s March of Remembrance in Kingwood on April 23. Reecting on everything that has led to the creation of the Holocaust Remembrance Association, Jerome said she hopes the nonprot will set an example for the children it engages. “I want the next generation to see what happened when good people remained silent,” she said. “We walk because we’re saying we’re going to actually do something once we see antisemitism or any kind of prejudice.”

Jerome established Kingwood nonprot the Holocaust Remembrance Association in early 2021 to help sensitize individuals to the atrocities committed during the Holocaust and facilitate healing, reconciliation and education. Jerome’s parents, who grew up in a small town in Hungary, were Holocaust survivors—a fate she said was not shared by many of the people around them. “Most of my family [members] were taken to Auschwitz and murdered,” Jerome said. “A couple of my family members—my parents, of course— were hidden by Christians who put their feet to their faith and hid them.” While Jerome’s parents eventually escaped to America during the Hungarian Revolution in 1956, she said she believed they never truly escaped the trauma they endured while ghting for their survival during the Holocaust. After visiting her father’s hometown of Sopron in Hungary, Jerome said she was called to open the nonprot in Kingwood in 2021.
