The Holocaust: The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

113 Words1 Pages
The United States’ official “living” memorial to the Holocaust is the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. The Holocaust was the systematic, bureaucratic, state-supported oppression and mass genocide of six million Jews by the Nazi control. Although Jews were the primary victims, disabled patients were one of many other victims targeted by the Nazi’s. The museum is located in Washington, DC. It encourages citizens and leaders from all over the world to challenge hatred, prevent genocide, and advocate human significance. I am interested in studying this museum more in depth because it speaks on the issue of promoting the significance of the individual more powerfully than any other college or institution in the world.
