The Museum’s collection powers our scholarship, exhibitions, and educational programs. Some of our most precious artifacts have been donated by survivors, who have made these objects even more meaningful through their personal recollections. At this special event, we will honor all survivors who help keep Holocaust memory alive and hear from one survivor who was able to taste his mother’s recipes again after a renowned chef discovered them in the Museum’s collection.
