My Aunt went to Ausvitz and worked there as a servant to the awful Nazi's. She saw the awful face of Adof Hitler. She ate crumbs of drie bread each day. Life was cruel for this Polish victum. A very sad mememory of this camp was seeing Adof Hitler murder a child. Aunt Lapinska met her husband, my uncle there. She had survived the trajic experience and later died of cancer. She will always be in my heart. I will cherish the thought of her beautiful face. |

I went this past week with my school im in high school and was taught little about this MAJOR event. I think we should all know what really went on and the museum displays it in a very incredibaly well way. |

My health did not permit me to join the reunion; however, my wife and I found the Reunion video worthwhile. It was especially gratifying to see that younger generations were in attendance to learn and understand about our past.
our past. |

I have attended the HolocaustMuseum every time I have visited Washington D.C. from Washington State. I am a 4th grade teacher and I have used the teaching curriculum in my classroom every year since 1997. My students are amazed that over 6,000,000 people lost their lives because of one man and the evil behind him. Our next door neighbor is a retired physician who liberated many of the concentration camps in 1945 and has come in to speak to my students on numerous occasions. I feel this museum tells the story of those who lost their voice and reminds those of us who live now to give them a voice through this museum. |

I came to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum for the first time when I was in about 4th grade. I've always been really interested in the subject, and was thrilled to go to the museum. I was so upset when my mom wouldn't let me see any more than Daniel's Story. She thought even that was too much for me to handle, so I only saw pieces of it. I believe that is what really sparked my interest on the subject, not being able to see much there, because, I mean, if you're parents ever told you not to do something, didn't it just make you want to do it more? Also, I am a Jew, so, it made me feel like I should know, and learn about it, to keep the memories alive. So, ever since then, I have studied it many times, have written about it, have read TONS of books, fiction and non-fiction, and have taken classes. Just this year, I took a very intense class on it. I really learned a lot, and was thrilled to find out we were going to the USHMM while in Washington, D.C. All day I looked forward to going to the museum, and was SO excited when we got there. I loved getting the "passports," and learning about such a personal story, of an individual murdered in a concentration camp. While reading it, I was thinking, I will remember this person's story forever, and I felt so important, that I might be the only person who will remember, and tell the woman's story. |

I just this past week visited the museum for the first time. I have read quite a lot about the Holocaust (which I suppose isn't that much since I'm only 22), but I don't feel you can begin to come close to truly see what happened until you visit the museum's permanent exhibit. I feel so many different things since visiting...I can't even put them into words. All I can do is encourage everyone I know to visit the museum. I already have my next trip to DC planned so that I can see it all again to try to learn more from it. The most important thought that has come to me since visiting is concern for when all of the world's Holocaust survivors have passed on. I want to learn everything I can to be able to pass it on to anyone and everyone. I worry that people will forget or not even know about the Holocaust to begin with. Please visit the museum...you will never forget after. I will never forget. |

WE MUST pass on all the information we can to future generations about the Holocaust and do everything we can so that should NEVER happen again to anyone, of any religion, race, etc. Knowing what happened to so many people has sickened me for years. My heart goes out to all that survived, to those that didn't, and to those that lost loved ones, as well as all the future generations lost. We don't know what a bad day is! PLEASE REMEMBER THEM! NEVER FORGET! |

I have taught a unit of study on the Holocaust for the last 2 years, and used the subject of The Holocaust, for a graduate class I took. My wish is that we never forget The Holocaust, or its victims. I believe that we need to teach our children well. Differences in religion, politics, the color of our skin or ones ethnicity is what makes us who we are. We should embrace each others differences they are what makes each of us special. While I was unable to attend the tribute, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Web Site is wonderful and rich in resources. Thank you for being there. |

Celebrating the memory of the Ostroburski & Cycowicz Families. My parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles have all now passed away BUT they will live on forever in the memories, faces, personalities, hopes and dreams of their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. We, your family are now the holocaust survivors. With smiles and tears we will never forget you. You will always be an integral part of our lives and a continuing presence in our future.
