Statements & Search Criteria Mission The Virginia Holocaust Museum preserves and documents the Holocaust in exhibits and its archival collections. Through the permanent exhibit, educational programming, and outreach the museum employs the history of the Holocaust and other genocides to educate and inspire future generations of Virginians to fight prejudice and indifference. Background The Museum was founded in 1997. Since that time with community support it has grown from an organization run by all volunteers to a staff of 17 with an ever expanding volunteer base. The Museum consists of permanent collections and exhibits, including a replica of the Nuremberg Trials, and many temporary exhibits. The Museum also continues to grow and expand our outreach programs and educator workshops which are offered at schools and onsite. Impact 1. Tours of the Museum are offered daily. Docent led tours can be scheduled for large groups. The Museum's annual number of visitors is 44,000 with 8,000 being students from middle and high schools across the Commonwealth. 2. Auschwitz/Owicim is the museum's first original traveling exhibit. Designed to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the liberation by the Soviet Red Army, the exhibit describes the three main camps, and includes excerpts from local survivors about daily life there. 3. The preservation and digitization of survivor testimonies is an ongoing project of the museum. Survivors of the Holocaust and other genocides including Rwanda, Cambodia, and Darfur, are interviewed in order to preserve and share their stories with future generations. Needs The continuing maintenance of our permanent exhibits is a continuing focus. Through growth and further development, we are able to additional artifacts and better educate everyone who takes a tour. (annual costs of $8,000) Another major project is the multiphase capital campaign which began in November 2014. The campaign addresses the replacement of 1/2 of the roof, expands the storage capacity of the museum's archives, adds drop ceilings above the permanent exhibits, and installs temperature controlled HVAC units; with the overall goal being to become accredited and nationally recognized by American Alliance of Museums.
