Holocaust
Our Holocaust collection includes letters, images, and artifacts relating to the Nazis, the Jewish
and Romanian lives lost, and the heroic upstanders who fought to save their brothers and
sisters. By amassing and sharing this collection, we hope to ensure nobody ever repeats—or
comes close to repeating—the barbaric atrocities the German people and their far too many
collaborators perpetrated in WWII.
