Adjacent to the National Mall in Washington, D.C., the USHMM provides for the documentation, study, and interpretation of Holocaust history. It is dedicated to helping leaders and citizens of the world confront hatred, prevent genocide, promote human dignity, and strengthen democracy. The museum was established as this country's institution for the study and documentation of the Holocaust and also as a study for the victims of Nazi horror. These included Jews, Gypsies and homosexuals as well as physically and mentally handicapped people judged as "subhuman" by the Nazi regime. Other groups included such Protestant sects as Seventh-Day Adventists.<br/> <br/> This Book Conveys The Dedication To Truth And Scholarship That Is The Foundation Of The Holocaust Memorial Museum, And Details The Museum's Role In Presenting Evidence Of Lives And Events That Must Never Be Forgotten.
