“History is not history until it is written or told. This is what you are doing so well with your unsung hero projects. ”
Howard Cohen

“As a long-time Board Member of my local Boys & Girls Club, I'm always interested in programs and services that empower and enable the young people in my community to have fulfilling lives while contributing back into community whatever their special gifts may be. I found your website to be so compelling, and I'm so very glad there's such a place for young people, educators, and people who are committed to making a real difference in the world can go for the kind of support, resources, and leadership that you provide. Teaching respect and understanding to our young people in such a diverse world is critical to the future ongoing health and well-being of human beings on the planet. Who knows what lives will be touched and altered forever? Thank you for your commitment and dedication. Warm regards, Liz Carnes Board Member Boys & Girls Clubs of Carlsbad”

“The Lowell Milken Center is doing a spectacular job. I am only familiar with the Irene Sendler story, but to bring to life heroes of the past and present is a magnificent thing. this country needs more people like this. My hometown, (Carlsbad, CA) high school did a similar project(not quite to the extreme as the Sendler story, but, nevertheless, inspiring). It is only through people like this, that possible peace and understanding will reign in this world. Keep up the good work.”
Roberta Kaplan

“It seems to take a tremendous amount of strength to avoid losing faith in the human element and slip into a state of mediocrity and apathy. Using history as a cautionary tale to change the way people treat one another is ineffective. However, using history to highlight the accomplishments of people; to show how regular, normal, flawed folks can make a difference by recognizing and respecting the inherent flaws and differences in all of us - provides a message of hope and nudges others to try to live and think differently. Understanding the ways of others may require education. Respecting the ways of others should be implicit. Your projects show how one person or a small group of people have made a difference, not by changing the world but by respecting its diversity. Well done.”

“It is a pleasure to browse the Lowell Milken Center Web site and see how history can "come alive" for students in these projects. It will afford them not only a tie to their history, but also give them a unique concept of life, not only in the United States, but in the entire world.”
Dorothy Schrader
