Holocaust Memorial Museum

The Holocaust Memorial Museum is a national institution dedicated to preserving the history of the Holocaust—the systematic persecution and murder of six million Jews and millions of others by the Nazi regime during World War II. It educates visitors about the events, causes, and consequences of this genocide through exhibits, survivor stories, and research. The museum aims to honor victims, promote awareness, and prevent future atrocities by fostering understanding of human rights and the importance of tolerance. Located in Washington, D.C., it serves as a place for reflection, education, and remembrance.
