The Maks and Lea Rothstein Charitable Youth Trust was established in memory of the families of Maks and Lea Rothstein, including Maks Rothstein's parents, sister, brother, and their children, and in memory of the millions of children who perished during the Holocaust. Mr. Rothstein believed that the tragedy of the Holocaust would possibly not have occurred if there had been a Jewish homeland during the years 1939-1945.
