Albert “Sonny” Abramson
was a pillar of the Washington,
DC, real estate community.
A visionary with a deep-seated sense of
responsibility toward family, friends, the
Jewish community, Israel, and the DC
metropolitan area, Sonny conducted
his personal and professional life with
the same deep-seated sense of ethics,
commitment, and integrity. It was only
natural that Sonny, who wanted to
tell the Holocaust story, became the
chair of the Building Committee for
the newly proposed Museum. With a
gentle but firm hand, Sonny made it
possible for the dream in the hearts of a
few to become a living memorial in the
heart of the nation’s capital—today
visited by millions. Because of his
leadership, he was the 1998 recipient of
the Presidential Citizens Medal. Sonny’s
impact on the city and community
he cared so deeply about will be an
enduring legacy of which the Abramson
family will always be proud.”
