Join us for a live, virtual program about the Museum’s research services and ongoing efforts to preserve, safeguard, and expand its unparalleled collection of Holocaust evidence. 

Hear how the Museum’s collection of materials, documents, and artifacts serves as a resource for Holocaust survivors, their descendants, families of victims, teachers, scholars, filmmakers, and others wishing to discover more about the fate of Jewish people persecuted by the Nazis and their collaborators.

Webinar participants have the opportunity to make special appointments to request research assistance and inquire about potentially donating artifacts and/or contributing an oral history to the Museum. Please email us at riappointments@ushmm.org by no later than June 30, 2023 to connect with our staff. We look forward to hearing from you.
