If you are interested in arranging a speaking engagement with a survivor either at the Museum or in your community, please refer to Guidelines for Arranging a Survivor Presentation. The Speakers Bureau is one of the most valuable resources the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum provides to educators, schools, associations, community groups, state and local institutions, government organizations and agencies, professional societies, and others. For audiences across the country, the Museum’s Speakers Bureau provides immediate, exclusive access to highly compelling and immensely instructive speakers on a wide range of topics; presentations by Holocaust survivors and witnesses; expert discussions on Holocaust history and genocide prevention; talks on numerous areas in which the Museum is the preeminent source of information and expertise; and more. In addition, the Museum’s innovative projects, research programs, renowned archives and collections, and ongoing scholarship efforts provide a continually expanding source of topics and absorbing speaker presentations. 
Our speakers make presentations to a large number of professional groups and associations throughout the United States. In this photo, Holocaust survivor and retired teacher Flora Singer shares her memories of the Holocaust during a special presentation to a conference of educators.
The mission of the Speakers Bureau is to not only provide eminently qualified speakers, but to assist you in selecting a topic that precisely meets your needs and specific areas of interest. The Speakers Bureau, potential speakers, and the Museum’s professional staff will work with you to assure a presentation that matches the interest and expertise levels of your audience. 
Groups benefiting from the highly compelling presentations arranged through our Speakers Bureau include police departments, universities, associations, penitentiaries, and in this photo, an Indian reservation. Holocaust survivor Henry Greenbaum is shown after a recent presentation to a group of Navajo high school students in Monument Valley, Utah.
 Holocaust Remembrance Day is a day that has been set aside for remembering the victims of the Holocaust and for reminding Americans of what can happen to civilized people when bigotry, hatred, and indifference reign. The United States Holocaust Memorial Council, created by an act of Congress in 1980, was mandated to lead the nation in civic commemorations and to encourage appropriate remembrance observances throughout the country. Observances now occur in every state. The Speakers Bureau can help provide speakers for annual Holocaust Remembrance Day observances and can work with you on the format of your organization’s program.  First Person The eyewitness accounts of Holocaust survivors unite personal experience with history in a way that is extraordinary in its immediacy and power.
