An Evening to Honor Holocaust Survivors 2024

Presented by the Washington Next Generation Board

Every artifact in our Museum tells a story. And when an item has been donated by a survivor, we are able to gather their firsthand memories of how it was used, protected, or cherished. Their experiences, reflected through their treasured artifacts, allow us to share powerful lessons with people around the world. 

As a child, Peter Feigl recorded his experiences during the Holocaust in two diaries. These diaries were dedicated to his parents who, unbeknownst to Peter, had been arrested and deported to Auschwitz when the Nazis and their French collaborators began rounding up Jews in France. Peter would later entrust these diaries to the Museum.

At An Evening to Honor Holocaust Survivors 2024 on October 27, we heard how the Museum is committed to preserving and disseminating Peter’s story and those of many other survivors through their artifacts.
