 The Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust is a venue for the Benjamin and Vladka Meed Registry of Jewish Holocaust Survivors. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Benjamin and Vladka Meed Registry of Jewish Holocaust Survivors is a national database used to document the lives of survivors who came to the United States and other countries after World War II. It was created to document the experiences of survivors and help survivors search for relatives and friends. The Registry now includes over 195,000 records related to survivors and their families. Although most of the survivors who have registered live in North America, the Registry now includes the names of survivors from all over the world. This marks the first time that access to the complete Registry has been made permanently available outside of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Created in 1981 by the American Gathering of Jewish Holocaust Survivors, the Registry has been developed by the USHMM since 1993. Located in the Resource Center of the Museum, the Registry is open to the public by appointment during regular Museum hours. The Survivors Registry seeks to include the names of all Holocaust survivors; facilitate contact between survivors; collect and display basic information about survivors; and assist survivors and their families in their attempts to trace missing relatives. |
