Lemkin House
Lemkin House
Organization Name:  Lemkin House
Organization Overview:  The mission of Lemkin House is to provide shelter and support— physical, legal, social, and spiritual— for those people in the West Michigan area who are seeking asylum in the United States. We are supported and encouraged by many Grand Rapids-based social service agencies, legal clinics and private attorneys, and members of religious and academic communities. The name “Lemkin House” was chosen to honor the memory of a man who dedicated his life with an absolute passion to give ethnic slaughter a name and make it a crime. In doing so, we hope to continue his legacy and bring a name left in the shadows back into the light. (Clink on his name in drop-down menu to learn more about his life.) We incorporated rosemary into our logo from Shakespeare’s line in Hamlet: “There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance; pray, love, remember.”
