At this critical time of surging antisemitism, it is more important than ever that we gather to remember the victims and honor the survivors of the Holocaust. Join us in New York City to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz and support the Museum’s mission to reach new generations with the timely lessons of this history to inspire action today.
Tickets begin at $400, and sponsorship opportunities are available. Individual ticket price increases to $450 on February 19. For more information, please contact Amy Kardon in the Museum's Northeast Regional Office at northeastoutreach@ushmm.org or 212.983.0825.
