Join BGU Canada for a screening of Who are the Marcuses?

Celebrate the power of philanthropy and the impact of one family’s vision.
Who Are the Marcuses? tells the remarkable true story of Lottie and Howard Marcus - Holocaust survivors and refugees whose transformative gift to Israel’s Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) helped advance peacebuilding and climate action through innovative water technology. Their extraordinary generosity was made possible through the values and foresight of their daughter, Ellen Marcus, who chose to direct her future inheritance toward making the world better for all. Discover how one family’s quiet commitment sparked innovation, strengthened a nation, and continues to inspire meaningful change today.
