to include everyone willing and able to help protect vulnerable communities independent of their socio-economic status,” she continued. “Your occupation and income bracket aren’t what make you valuable; kindness and compassion are. We are essential to someone else’s well-being and they are essential to ours.” The organization’s objective is to inspire cross-cultural, collaborative efforts that yield abundant resources, resilience, and reignite hope in a time of despair. Funds raised will help combat food insecurity, housing instability, and barriers to access encountered by the elderly, disabled, immunocompromised, and the deeply marginalized. Microgrants range from $250 to $5,000. Microgrants do not typically exceed $5,000 and are specific to identifiable need(s). However, applicants may also apply for an amount not listed in the application for the review committee’s consideration. A diverse body of individuals will evaluate applications and base their decision on urgency and need. Other key organizers of the #YouAreEssential campaign include singer and songwriter Justin Tranter, writer and producer Taj Paxton, and Rogers and Cowan PMK senior vice president of multicultural communications, Stephen Macias. “Revolve Impact is honored to be working on #YouAreEssential, a critically important campaign and emergency fund to support mutual aid networks and grassroots organizations on the frontlines of this unprecedented crisis. #YouAreEssential will ensure that organizations doing lifesaving work in the most vulnerable communities are supported and resourced,” said Mike de la Rocha, Co-Founder & CEO, of Revolve Impact. Actress, producer, author Gabrielle Union, and basketball star Dwyane Wade were among the first to make a generous donation to the cause. Other notable figures have pledged to make contributions to the fund and are slated to appear in an upcoming video series in support of the campaign. #YouAreEssential is an initiative of Accelerate Impact Fund, a sponsored program of the Social Impact Fund, a 501©3 non-profit organization.

PART ONE Reprint by permission by Office of General Counsel United States Holocaust Memorial Museum all right reserved. www.ushmm.org Book Translation: Dear, kind Gad, I owe you a present, no, I want to give you one, not just so that you get something from me that you can glance through and then lay aside forever, but something that will make you happy whenever you pick it up. Gad and Manfred sometimes would spend the night together on cots in the basement of the Jewish school in the Choriner Strasse, as part of an obligatory air raid patrol. One of these evenings, Manfred gave Gad his book. Manfred wrote and made this book because he wanted to give something meaningful to Gad, who wrote poems. Gad was touched by the gift, though he was initially critical of Manfred’s lyrical writing style. Later, Manfred’s words took on new meaning. Left: Jizchak Schwersenz, director of the Jewish school at Choriner Strasse 74, and three of his pupils carry helmets, tools, and books for their obligatory air raid patrol shift in early summer 1941. All public buildings in Berin had to be patrolled. Gad and Manfred began their shifts in late summer 1941, after the school building had been evacuated due to bomb damage. After the war, many streets disappeared or their names were changed. The Choriner Strasse still exists today, but the former Jewish school has been replaced by a modern apartment complex. Interview with Gad Beck MR. BECK: “It was very interesting. He was not so sure this would be the right gift for me. It’s very simple book, booklet, very simple. … and he’s not an artist. So he gave me this paper and said to me, 'Later, look later, what I gave you in this moment.' I took it with me, and I’m not sure, even if I know I’m not sure. In the same evening I didn’t read this book, just in the morning. I was alone Ah!.... and I remember he have me something. And so I was, I read this book.” QUESTION: “What was your first impression? MR. BECK: The impression was not so deep like in this moment, because I didn’t, I couldn’t understand what will be our next future. So this book said to me, some wonderful words coming from his heart, not more. He was a very poor boy, they had no money. And most of the money they had was only going for food. He wanted to bring me something from his spirit. It was very spiritual gift for me.” Due to closures please contact location first. Some delivery options available 29
