The Barnett family’s history of
support for Holocaust remembrance
began with Mimi Barnett’s parents,
Leah and Paul Lewis, who began
promoting the cause after the
end of World War II. The couple
sponsored a series of national
memorials and were instrumental
in the construction of the Lewis
Park of Memories at the Dallas
Jewish Community Center. Paul
Lewis was appointed by former
President Jimmy Carter to serve on
the first President’s Commission
on the Holocaust in 1978.
The Barnetts have carried on
their family’s mission through
several monumental gifts to the
Ackerman Center. In 2002, the
couple established the
center’s first endowed
faculty position, the Leah
and Paul Lewis Chair of
Holocaust Studies. They
also served as co-chairs
of the center’s first major
fundraising event in 2016,
and in 2018 endowed the
Mitchell L. and Miriam
Lewis Barnett Lecture Series as
part of the Ackerman Center’s
Annual Scholars’ Conference on
the Holocaust and the Churches.

A major gift to the Ackerman
Center for Holocaust Studies at
The University of Texas at Dallas
will create its fifth endowed chair,
propelling the center to the top tier
of Holocaust research programs in
the country.
The Miriam Lewis Barnett
Chair for studies related to the
Holocaust, genocide and human
rights was established by longtime
supporters of the center, Mitchell
L. and Miriam “Mimi”
Lewis Barnett.
“I am thrilled that
the Barnett family has
once again recognized
the importance of the
work we are doing at the
Ackerman Center,” said
Dr. Nils Roemer, director
of the Ackerman Center
and interim dean of the School of
Arts and Humanities. “There is
not another center that I can think
of that has five endowed faculty
positions in Holocaust Studies.”
Barbara Rabin Professor in
Holocaust Studies, said
that endowed positions
attract faculty at the top
of their Helds and enable
the center to be a leader
in research and education
on the Holocaust and
human rights issues.
The Holocaust is
not just studied by a
single type of scholar,
such as a historian, but
by academic scholars
across disciplines, he
said.
“Having five endowed
faculty positions will
allow us to cover
engage the Holocaust and
its legacies in the widest
possible ways across the
different disciplines by
bringing five professors
and their respective fields
of expertise together,”
Roemer said.
Because the Ackerman
Center sits within an
interdisciplinary school, he
said, students studying the
Holocaust receive a well-
rounded education from
the various perspectives
of history, literature,
philosophy and art.
