Dear Arlene,
It is with great respect and admiration that I extend my warmest wishes to you. I want to thank you for your tremendous commitment to the work of Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation.
The Shoah Foundation would not have been able to record the almost 50,000 testimonies to date without you. Your efforts to help bringing the lessons of the Holocaust and the message of tolerance to generations to come.
Once again, I thank you. Our work ensures the promise of a better tomorrow.
All my best,
Steven Spielberg
