What is Holocaust Museum ?

hi

hello

the United States Holocaus

Memorial Museum inspires citizens

leaders worldwide to confront

hatred, prevent genocide,

promote human dignity

Federal support

guarantees the Museum’s permanent place on the National Mall,

its far-reaching educational programs and global impact are made possible by generous donors.

Located among our national monuments to freedom on the National Mall, the Museum provides a powerful lesson in the fragility of freedo

the myth of progress, and the need for vigilance in preserving

democratic values

With unique power and authenticity, t

the Museum teaches millions of people each year about the dangers of unchecked hatred and the need to prevent genocide.

And we encourage them to act, cultivating a sense of moral responsibility among our citizens so that they will respond to the monumental challenges that confront our world.

Today we face an alarming rise in Holocaust denial and antisemitism

even in the very lands where the Holocaust happened

s well as genocide and threats of genocide in other parts of the world.

This is occurring just as we approach a time when Holocaust survivors

other eyewitnesses will no longer be alive.
