Jane Fonda, Rosanna Arquette, Todd Morgan, Patricia Arquette and David Arquette came out to support Holocaust survivors and their families at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’s 2016 Los Angeles Dinner at The Beverly Hilton on Wednesday night.
During the event, Rosanna Arquette and her investment banker husband Morgan received the National Leadership Award for their efforts in preserving the history of the Holocaust. Morgan’s Aging With Dignity Fund has provided Holocaust survivors with over $3 million for medical assistance, transportation, food and other necessary services.
“While genocide represents the catastrophic end of hatred, the Holocaust shows us that assaults on human dignity of any kind must never go unanswered even when the challenge is daunting,” said Rosanna. “As Rosa Parks said, ‘We must never be fearful about what you are doing when it’s right.’ My sister [Patricia Arquette] knows that. This is literally happening today in my country right now. And you know what I mean. He’s got crazy hair. We cannot let this happen, guys.”
