Join us for a free, family-friendly, daylong public event featuring a variety of opportunities to engage with Museum resources, people, and programs and pay tribute to local Holocaust survivors and World War II veterans. You can:
-
Conduct Holocaust-era family research in the Museum’s extensive archives.
-
Bring your own historic photos, documents, and other artifacts to review with a Museum curator.
-
Explore some of the unanswered—and unanswerable—questions about the Holocaust with educators, historians, and other experts.
-
View Holocaust survivor testimonies and archival films rarely seen outside the Museum.
-
Go behind-the-scenes with Museum curators to learn the stories of how certain artifacts became part of the collection.
-
Participate in a children’s art project to create “building blocks of hope,” which will be displayed at the 20th Anniversary National Tribute in Washington, DC. (For children ages six and older.)
-
Help Holocaust survivors’ and victims’ families discover the fate of missing loved ones by participating in the World Memory Project.
-
Witness the presentation of the flags of the US Army liberating divisions.
