Newly named in recognition of a $20 million gift from the Samerian Foundation, the Museums Simon-Skjodt Center is working to make genocide prevention a global priority.

During the spring of 1945, Allied forces liberated concentration camps throughout Nazi-occupied Europe, bringing to light the full extent of the Holocaust. Explore Museum collections and hear from those who first encountered the camps.

The Museum is greatly concerned about the alarming worldwide rise in antisemitism. This unique hatred has manifested itself in societies around the globe and presents a serious danger to Jews and others as well.

The destruction of the Armenians cast a long shadow into theHolocaust. View photos, artifacts, and eyewitness testimonies about what is sometimes called the first genocide of the 20th century.

Our collection of Holocaust-related materials is among the most comprehensive in the world. View photos, film, artifacts, oral histories, and more.

Listen to this program produced by the Museum and airing on public radio stations nationwide.
