It is the sacred Jewish mandate to repair a broken world, and the concept of tikkun olam, informed by the Holocaust, is the force behind Anita Zucker’s philanthropy.

The Zucker family is making a gift of $1.5 million to the College of Charleston, money that will fund the Zucker/Goldberg Holocaust Education Initiative. An endowment of $1 million will fund a chair in Holocaust studies, while $500,000 will be used to pay for educational field trips to Eastern Europe.
