About Museum Membership

Your Membership Makes a Difference

Every day, we open more minds to the reality of the Holocaust and its many lessons for today’s world. When you become a member, you support us in educating a new generation about this important history—and become our partner in fighting hatred, promoting human dignity, and preventing genocide.

  • Your support helps us honor victims and survivors, rescue evidence from the Holocaust, and share the stories that educate and inspire people to confront hatred and promote human dignity.

  • Ongoing support from members like you is crucial to our long-term success.

  • New address or billing details? We can quickly update your account, answer questions, and even take donations at 866.998.7466 or membership@ushmm.org.

Where Your Money Goes

Donations from supporters like you are essential, as the funds we receive from the federal government only cover our basic day-to-day operations and the safeguarding of our Permanent Exhibition. Your donations help us:

  • Continue to gather evidence and survivor stories from all over the world

  • Work with teachers to ensure the Holocaust is taught with deep knowledge and sensitivity

  • Prevent genocide and mass atrocity worldwide
