Thirty years ago, thanks to the bold vision of survivors and an unprecedented public-private partnership with the American people, the Museum opened. Together, we have accomplished so much—but we can’t be complacent. Just as we are losing the eyewitnesses, antisemitism is rising and conspiracy theories and misuse of the Holocaust are taking hold. We must respond by ensuring the truth and relevance of the Holocaust for new generations—far beyond our walls.
