Rozalie Jerome

Raised in a conservative Jewish home, Rozalie Jerome is the daughter of Holocaust survivors who were hidden and rescued by Christians in Hungary. Her family history gave her firsthand insight into the lasting effects of transgenerational trauma and inspired her commitment to remembrance, education, healing, and reconciliation.
Rozalie is the Founder and President of the Holocaust Remembrance Association and the visionary behind the Holocaust Garden of Hope, an open-air museum in Kingwood, Texas. Through educational programs, public remembrance events, and interfaith initiatives, she encourages people to confront antisemitism, prejudice, persecution, and indifference and to become Upstanders in their communities.
A central part of Rozalie’s work is facilitating honest dialogue and reconciliation between descendants of Holocaust survivors and descendants of Nazi perpetrators. By bringing families from both sides of this painful history together to acknowledge the past, share their stories, and build relationships, she helps break generations of silence and foster healing, understanding, and hope.
Rozalie has extensive entrepreneurial experience and a strong background in public relations and motivational speaking. Her understanding of interfaith dynamics and cultural differences supports collaborative initiatives and community bridge-building. She and her husband, Mitch, also co-founded The Crossover Project and have produced and co-hosted The Crossover television program in English, Spanish, and Russian.
