LGBTQ+ Visit to the Holocaust Museum

Friday, June 6   || United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

On Friday, June 6, at 10:00 am, Bet Mishpachah has organized a visit to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.  We will visit Americans and the Holocaust, a portrait of American society that shows how the Depression, isolationism, xenophobia, racism, and antisemitism shaped the U.S. response to Nazism and the Holocaust. It reveals how much information was available to Americans at the time and asks why rescuing Jews did not become a priority, except for a few individuals who took the risk to help.  Those who wish to remain will be able to tour the self-guided permanent exhibition, The Holocaust, which offers a chronological narrative of the Holocaust through historical artifacts, photographs, and film footage.  We will meet at the entrance to the Museum, which is located at 100 Raoul Wallenberg Place, SW; Washington, DC 20024-2126.

Space is limited. Please register here
