The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum continues to build its collection of original photographs, documents, and artifacts relating to the experiences of the Holocaust in Europe, Palestine, the Far East, and the Americas.

In order to continue to document the Holocaust accurately, authentically, and powerfully, the Museum seeks original material about the onset of Nazi terror, persecution and atrocities, the American and world responses, armed and spiritual resistance and rescue, liberation, and the reestablishment of life after the Holocaust.

We are looking for original documents, letters, diaries, artwork, music, photographs, clothing, religious materials, memorial (yizkor) books, personal artifacts, toys, historic film footage, home movies, and other artifacts that were kept with you, created, and/or used throughout the time period surrounding the Holocaust. The Museum’s holdings, whose care is provided by generous support from both the public and private sector, represent one of the most comprehensive Holocaust collections in the world.

If you have materials that you would like to bring to our attention, please contact:
