Putting a stamp of solidarity with holocaust victims and survivors, Alex von Furstenberg, through The Diller–von Furstenberg Family Foundation, consistently gives support to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) located in Washington, D.C. Dubbed as the “living memorial to the Holocaust,” USHMM aims to “provide a powerful lesson in the fragility of freedom, the myth of progress, and the need for vigilance in preserving democratic values.” Furstenberg’s support to USHMM marks his admirable recognition of the need to promote the global crusade against hatred and the necessity to advance the cause of human rights.

A brilliant businessman from the aristocratic Furstenberg family, he directs his philanthropic works to actions that seek the cultivation of human uprightness and the protection of human rights and dignity. Alex von Furstenberg’s precocious engagement with human rights causes, as proven by his support to USHMM and other organizations like the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith, Human Rights Campaign, Human Rights Watch, International Women’s Media Foundation, International Rescue Committee, Oxfam America, People for the American Way, Somaly Mam, and Vital Voices, is known throughout the philanthropic circles and speaks volume about his character: a man who values the sanctity of freedom.
Although consistently put forward through The Diller–von Furstenberg Family Foundation, Furstenberg’s pro-human rights philanthropic actions will always be an involvement never devoid of empathy and authentic sense of solidarity.
