Help us find the artifacts and tell the stories.

Every object, every photo, every letter to relatives has a story waiting to be told...

The Holocaust Center is working to find, catalog, preserve, and use artifacts from the Holocaust. This is the perfect time for your to reach into the corner of your attic and find the journal or identity card you have been saving.

The Holocaust Center has state-of-the-art preservation materials that will ensure the artifacts for safe keeping so that they will be a part of Holocaust education for many years to come.

Please consider whether you might have something that the Holocaust Center can preserve and use for education. Artifacts can be given to the Holocaust Center as a loan or a gift.
