The Weiss-Livnat Family
The Weiss-Livnat International Center for Holocaust Research and Education was created with and is sustained by the generous support of our donors, Honorary Dr. and Mrs. Doron and Marianne Livnat.
Honorary Dr. Doron and Mrs. Marianne Livnat
Doron and Marianne Livnat have ensured the legacy and memory of Doron’s father, Yitzhak Livnat, through their generous financial support of the MA program in Holocaust Studies. In 2019 they expanded their significant donation by endowing the funds to create an international academic center, The Weiss-Livnat International Center for Holocaust Research and Education. The center is the umbrella organization under which the MA Program, The Journal of Holocaust Research, and the many academic and commemorative Holocaust activities can flourish. We are incredibly grateful for their continued friendship and charitable contributions.
At the University of Haifa’s 44th Annual Meeting of the Board of Governors in 2016, Doron Livnat was awarded an honorary doctorate in recognition of his outstanding leadership, which blends business success and far-reaching public and social activity; on his assistance to disadvantaged groups in society, out of an understanding and belief that strengthening them is the best guarantee of a more moral, just and successful society; on the contribution to promoting study and research of the Holocaust at the University of Haifa to preserve the memory of the Holocaust and pass the narrative on to future generations; on the continued support of the “Access for All” program and its impact on the population in northern Israel; and on his being an ambassador for the University of Haifa all around the world.
