FORM 990, PART I, ITEM K, OTHER ORGANIZATION TYPE:

FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1, DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION MISSION:
AMERICA'S NATIONAL INSTITUTION FOR THE DOCUMENTATION, STUDY, AND INTERPRETATION OF HOLOCAUST HISTORY AND THE COUNTRY'S MEMORIAL TO THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE MURDERED DURING THE HOLOCAUST.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 - PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENT CONTINUATION
DESCRIPTION OF THE ORGANIZATION'S MISSION: THE UNITED STATES HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL MUSEUM IS AMERICA'S NATIONAL INSTITUTION FOR THE DOCUMENTATION, SUDY, AND INTERPRETATION OF HOLOCAUST HISTORY, AND SERVES AS THIS COUNTRY'S MEMORIAL TO THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE MURDERED DURING THE HOLOCAUST. THE HOLOCAUST WAS THE STATE-SPONSORED, SYSTEMATIC PERSECUTION AND ANNIHILATION OF EUROPEAN JEWS BY NAZI GERMANY AND ITS COLLABORATORS BETWEEN 1933 AND 1945. JEWS WERE THE PRIMARY VICTIMS - SIX MILLION WERE MURDERED; GYPSIES, THE HANDICAPPED AND POLES WERE ALSO TARGETED FOR DESTRUCTION OR DECIMATION FOR RACIAL, ETHNIC, OR NATIONAL REASONS. MILLIONS MORE, INCLUDING HOMOSEXUALS, JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES, SOVIET PRISONERS OF WAR AND POLITICAL DISSIDENTS, ALSO SUFFERED GRIEVOUS OPPRESSION AND DEATH UNDER NAZI TYRANNY. THE MUSEUM'S PRIMARY MISSION IS TO ADVANCE AND DISSEMINATE KNOWLEDGE about this unprecedented tragedy, to preserve the memory of those who SUFFERED; AND TO ENCOURAGE ITS VISITORS TO REFLECT UPON THE MORAL AND SPIRITUAL QUESTIONS RAISED BY THE EVENTS OF THE HOLOCAUST AS WELL AS THEIR OWN RESPONSIBILITIES AS CITIZENS OF A DEMOCRACY. CHARTERED BY A UNANIMOUS ACT OF CONGRESS IN 1980 AND LOCATED ADJACENT TO THE NATIONAL MALL IN WASHINGTON, DC, THE MUSEUM STRIVES TO BROADEN PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING OF THE HISTORY OF THE HOLOCAUST THROUGH MULTIFACETED PROGRAMS: EXHIBITIONS; RESEARCH AND PUBLICATION; COLLECTING AND PRESERVING MATERIAL EVIDENCE, ART AND ARTIFACTS RELATED TO THE HOLOCAUST; ANNUAL HOLOCAUST COMMEMORATIONS KNOWN AS DAYS OF REMEMBRANCE; DISTRIBUTION OF EDUCATION MATERIALS AND TEACHER RESOURCES; AND A VARIETY OF PUBLIC PROGRAMMING DESIGNED TO ENHANCE UNDERSTANDING OF THE HOLOCAUST AND RELATED ISSUES, INCLUDING THOSE OF CONTEMPORARY SIGNIFICANCE.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A
DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM SERVICES (CONTINUED): LOCATED AMONG OUR NATIONAL MONUMENTS TO FREEDOM ON THE NATIONAL MALL, THE MUSEUM PROVIDES A POWERFUL LESSON IN THE FRAGILITY OF FREEDOM, THE MYTH OF PROGRESS, AND THE NEED FOR VIGILANCE IN PRESERVING DEMOCRATIC VALUES. WITH UNIQUE POWER AND AUTHENTICITY, THE MUSEUM TEACHES MILLIONS OF PEOPLE EACH YEAR ABOUT THE DANGERS OF UNCHECKED HATRED AND THE NEED TO PREVENT GENOCIDE. AND WE ENCOURAGE THEM TO ACT, CULTIVATING A SENSE OF MORAL RESPONSIBILITY AMONG OUR CITIZENS SO THAT THEY WILL RESPOND TO THE MONUMENTAL CHALLENGES THAT CONFRONT OUR WORLD. TODAY WE FACE AN ALARMING RISE IN HOLOCAUST DENIAL AND ANTISEMITISM - EVEN IN THE VERY LANDS WHERE THE HOLOCAUST HAPPENED - AS WELL AS GENOCIDE AND THREATS OF GENOCIDE IN OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD. THIS IS OCCURRING JUST AS WE APPROACH A TIME WHEN HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS AND OTHER EYEWITNESSES WILL NO LONGER BE ALIVE. THE MUSEUM WORKS CLOSELY WITH MANY KEY SEGMENTS OF SOCIETY WHO WILL AFFECT THE FUTURE OF OUR NATION. BY STUDYING THE CHOICES MADE BY INDIVIDUALS AND INSTITUTIONS DURING THE HOLOCAUST, PROFESSIONALS FROM THE FIELDS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT, THE JUDICIARY, AND THE MILITARY, AS WELL AS DIPLOMACY, MEDICINE, EDUCATION, AND RELIGION, GAIN FRESH INSIGHT INTO THEIR OWN RESPONSIBILITIES TODAY. IN ADDITION TO OUR LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAMS, THE MUSEUM SPONSORS ONSITE AND TRAVELING EXHIBITIONS, EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH, AND HOLOCAUST COMMEMORATIONS, INCLUDING THE NATION'S ANNUAL OBSERVANCE OF THE DAYS OF REMEMBRANCE IN THE US CAPITOL. OUR jack, joseph and morton maNDEL CENTER FOR ADVANCED HOLOCAUST STUDIES FOSTERS THE CONTINUED GROWTH AND VITALITY OF THE FIELD OF hOLOCAUST STUDIES. OUR SIMON-SKJODT CENTER FOR THE PREVENTION OF GENOCIDE WORKS TO EDUCATE, ENGAGE, AND INSPIRE THE PUBLIC TO LEARN MORE ABOUT PAST GENOCIDES - SUCH AS THOSE IN RWANDA, BOSNIA, AND DARFUR - AND TO CONSIDER WHAT THEY CAN DO TO PREVENT THESES ATROCITIES IN THE FUTURE. THE SIMON-SKJODT CENTER FOR THE PREVENTION OF GENOCIDE ALSO WORKS TO GALVANIZE POLICY MAKERS BOTH IN THE US AND AROUND THE WORLD TO CREATE THE TOOLS AND STRUCTURES NEEDED TO AVERT THE NEXT CRISIS. SINCE ITS DEDICATION IN 1993, THE MUSEUM HAS WELCOMED MORE THAN 38 MILLION VISITORS, INCLUDING 96 HEADS OF STATE AND MORE THAN TEN MILLION SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN. OUR WEBSITE, THE WORLD'S LEADING ONLINE AUTHORITY ON THE HOLOCAUST, IS AVAILABLE IN 15 LANGUAGES AND WAS VISITED IN 2014 BY MORE THAN 13 MILLION PEOPLE REPRESENTING 236 COUNTRIES AND TERRITORIES.
