An Evening to Honor Holocaust Survivors 2026

Presented by the Washington Next Generation Board

Survivors were a driving force behind the creation of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and, since it opened in 1993, many have devoted countless hours to sharing their firsthand accounts of persecution and survival. 

Join us to learn how stories of individual choice and motivation will be conveyed in the Museum’s new Permanent Exhibition, ten years in development and made possible by generous donors. Meet some of the survivors who currently volunteer and honor all survivors who have dedicated themselves to ensuring the truth of the Holocaust is secured.

The cost of this event has been generously underwritten by a grant from the Nussdorf Family Foundation.
