Nearly every day at the Museum, Holocaust survivors volunteer their time to meet with people of all ages and backgrounds. Their personal experiences of being targeted by hate before rebuilding their lives captivate today’s visitors, especially during the current surge in antisemitism and Holocaust denial. To ensure that anyone, anywhere, can learn from these powerful teachers, the Museum has helped them speak to audiences around the globe via our website and social media. Their recorded messages about the dangers of unchecked antisemitism and hatred will ensure that the lessons of the Holocaust reach people beyond our walls and for generations to come.
Join us for An Evening to Honor Holocaust Survivors 2025 to hear from three survivors whose most painful memories have become our most vital lessons.
