Live at The Weitzman
The Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History is proud to honor Dr. Amy Gutmann with the 2025 Only in America® Award. Amy Gutmann’s life embodies a quintessential Only in America® story. Her father escaped Nazi persecution in the 1930s, and she later became the first in her family to graduate college, and rose to the highest levels in academic leadership and diplomacy, making indelible contributions to our society. She has been an outspoken advocate for Israel, and steadfast in her forceful opposition to antisemitism, hate, and discrimination in all its forms. Gutmann’s journey mirrors many of the “Dream. Dare. Do.” stories featured in The Weitzman’s galleries.
