U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum: FREE Online/Virtual Tour via Zoom! – August 3 | 8 – 9:30 PM
Join us for an online/virtual tour of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum with emphasis on some of the more noteworthy items in the museum collection. For the best experience we definitely recommend experiencing the museum in person. However, we realize that option is not available to all and therefore we’ve developed this program. If you haven’t previously visited the museum this program will provide a helpful introduction – and even if you have previously visited, you’ll learn more about the objects you saw.
This program is open to all. It is suitable for children accompanied by an adult as long as the child has experienced other Holocaust media, e.g. having previously visited the museum, read Anne Frank’s Diary, watched the Schindler’s List film, etc.
This program is presented by the non-profit community organization Washington, DC History & Culture: “bringing people together to experience the history and culture of Washington, DC.”
About the Museum: The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) is the United States’ official memorial to the Holocaust. Adjacent to the National Mall in Washington, D.C., the USHMM provides for the documentation, study, and interpretation of Holocaust history. It is dedicated to helping leaders and citizens of the world confront hatred, prevent genocide, promote human dignity, and strengthen democracy.
This event will be hosted on Zoom and online registration is mandatory in order to receive the Zoom link!
