Organization Information

The Kol Israel Foundation honors the lives of Holocaust Survivors and engages their descendants, families and supporters to preserve the legacy and lessons of the Holocaust.

Kol Israel (All of Israel) was founded in 1959 to represent area Holocaust survivors. It helped them acclimate to their new lives in Greater Cleveland and provided an important social support network.

In 1961, the group erected a monument in memory of the 6 million victims of the Holocaust at Zion Memorial Park in Bedfore Heights, Ohio. Ashes of victims from 3 concentration camps were buried under the monument. This was one of the first such monuments in the United States, and the monument has been recently recognized with an Ohio History Marker.

Kol Israel Foundation supports a wide range of community, educational and social programming, including the annual Cleveland Yom HaShoah Commemoration and the Fall Memorial Service. It also sponsors a mobile Holocaust education program available to schools and community groups at no charge. It is expanding its program offerings to include the grandchildren of survivors so that these important family legacies are preserved.
