Hillel Feinberg recently made a $100,000 gift to increase the endowment for the Hillel A. Feinberg Distinguished Chair of Holocaust Studies, thus extending his legacy of support for the Ackerman Center for Holocaust Studies at The University of Texas at Dallas. Feinberg, who is chairman emeritus of Hilltop Securities Inc., established the endowment in 2007 alongside a contribution from longtime Ackerman Center supporters John H. and Libba Massey. In 2019, additional contributions from Feinberg and others at the inaugural Ackerman Center Leadership Dinner elevated the fund to a distinguished chair, and Feinberg has continued to augment the endowment over the years. The additional funding will support research, help students attend conferences and address other programming needs. “Thanks to Mr. Feinberg’s gift, I can continue to do research on the Holocaust and antisemitism and disseminate the results near and far,” Patterson said.
