            A living memorial to the Holocaust, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum inspires citizens and leaders worldwide to confront antisemitism and hatred, prevent genocide, and promote human dignity. A nonpartisan, federal educational institution chartered by a unanimous Act of Congress in 1980, the Museum’s permanent place on the National Mall is guaranteed by federal support, and its far-reaching educational programs and global impact are made possible by generous donors.
