Who Are the Marcuses? reconstructs the lives of Holocaust refugees Lottie and Howard Marcus, an unassuming couple from Great Neck, New York, who retired to a modest two-bedroom apartment in San Diego, California. Former dentist, Howard, passed away in 2014 at age 104. Lottie passed less than two years later. In 2016, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev announced the Marcuses had given them over half a billion dollars: the largest single charitable donation to the State of Israel in its history. The film simultaneously traces the development of Israel’s vital water technology from pre-technology to the present; how the Marcuses' endowment to BGU has ensured its continued leading-edge development in this science for not only the Israeli people, but the world as a whole; sets the family’s gift in geopolitical context; and explores both its impact and implications for peace through technology exchange.

Who Are the Marcuses?

When Holocaust refugees Howard and Lottie Marcus passed away at age 104, they left Ben-Gurion University in Israel over $500 million. The impact that this gift has had on Israel's water technology and impact for peace is transcendent.

Discover the vast and strangely beautiful places where things go to die and meet the people who collect, restore, and recycle the world’s scrap. SCRAP scratches beneath the flaking paint and rusting metal to expose our deep attachment to the things we use while revealing the beauty and pathos in the ugliness we leave behind.
