MISSION STATEMENT — The mission of the Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies, in cooperation with the Academic Committee of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council, is:

To encourage and support new research and scholarship about the Holocaust on a national and international basis.
To foster and undertake research and publications projects that are not likely to be undertaken by a scholar working alone but that require long-term institutional support.
To expand the archival collections of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum through its International Archival Acquisitions Program and to ensure scholarly access to the Museum’s Archives through appropriate archive-related publications.
To strengthen teaching about the Holocaust at U.S. colleges and universities, as well as abroad, in order to ensure the training of future generations of Holocaust scholars.
To focus scholarly attention on key issues in the field that require investigation and to serve as a principal venue for scholars to meet for discussion, deliberation, and debate.
To enhance networking among American and foreign Holocaust scholars and scholars of the Holocaust from diverse academic disciplines.
To contribute to the field through a program of specialized academic publications, including the journal Holocaust and Genocide Studies.
To ensure the scholarly integrity—of fact and reasonableness of interpretation—of Museum programs and products.
