The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum held a program last week to honor donors who contributed personal keepsakes from Jews who were held in concentration camps or spent the war in hiding.
“We could not have told this difficult and complex story without these precious objects,” said Jacek Nowakowski, the museum’s director of collections.
More than 300 donors attended the program.
