Our Work and Mission
The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is working to keep Holocaust memory alive while inspiring citizens and leaders to confront hatred, prevent genocide, and promote human dignity in our constantly changing world.
We’re devoted to:
-
Rescuing the Evidence
We carefully preserve objects that survived the Holocaust and make our collections available to the public at the Museum and online.
-
Advancing Awareness and Understanding of the Holocaust
We are the global leader in teaching the lessons of the Holocaust and in generating new knowledge and understanding about what made it possible.
-
Preventing Genocide
We monitor and raise awareness of areas at risk for genocide and influence international policy to prevent mass atrocities.

Engaging Young People on Social Media
We meet audiences where they are and engage them with Holocaust history and its relevance, giving them the knowledge to confront antisemitism and hatred.
