Join us virtually for a special live event to meet survivors who volunteer at the Museum, as the Washington Next Generation Board hosts an annual evening for our community to come together to honor Holocaust survivors.

Through the Museum's work, the history of the Holocaust and the voices of survivors are highlighted to millions of people around the world. Survivor volunteers engage with the visiting public and provide their irreplaceable human touch to the Museum experience. While they have not been able to return to the Museum due to COVID-19, they have reached people virtually in Asia, Europe, and North and South America throughout the pandemic.

With the rise in antisemitism, survivors’ testimonies about the consequences of unchecked hate are more important than ever. Join us to hear firsthand from Holocaust survivors and have the opportunity to speak with them directly about their lives and experiences.

This program is free and registration is required. Donations to support the Museum's vital mission are welcome.
