"I decided to devote my life to telling the story because I felt that having survived I owe something to the dead…. and anyone who does not remember betrays them again."

The Museum welcomes all those who wish to contribute their own photographs of memorials that are not represented in any of the above exhibitions. Please e-mail them as jpegs with a short description of the photo such as town, location (e.g. cemetery, synagogue), and if possible a translation of any inscription on the monument. Also needed are volunteers to translate the Hebrew, Yiddish, Polish and Russian words that have been inscribed into these memorials, that do not already appear with the exhibition memorial photo. Please send the photos or contact the Museum if needed at postmaster@museumoffamilyhistory.com.

It is the mission of the Museum of Family History to honor and preserve the memory of our ancestors, their culture and way of life. It is hoped that the presentation of this material relating specifically to the Holocaust will make some sort of contribution in some small but perceptible way to our collective consciousness; that these photographs and the precious messages inscribed onto them will remind us of how important it is to remember all who perished during these terrible times.
