Holocaust Remembrance Day

Holocaust Remembrance Day

Remembrance Wall, US National Holocaust Museum

This is the Remembrance Wall in the US National Holocaust Museum In Washington DC. Here are memorialized thousands of victims of the Holocaust, poignantly recalled through their family photographs. The Museum honors their memory on January 27, Holocaust Remembrance Day, as do we at the Museum of the Grand Prairie. In our collections, we hold an oral history given by the late Rabbi Isaac Neuman of Champaign who survived the Holocaust as well as oral histories by men who liberated the concentration camps. We are humbled by the memories we are privileged to save.
