The United States Holocaust Research Institute is the scholarly division of the United States

Holocaust Memorial Museum. Founded in December 1993, its mission is to serve as an international

resource for the development of research on the Holocaust and related issues, including those of

contemporary significance.

The Institute consists of eight departments¡ªAcademic Programs (including Academic

Publications), Library, Archive, Photo Archive, Music, and the Benjamin and Vladka Meed Registry of

Jewish Holocaust Survivors. It will soon be the home of the Miles Lerman Center for the Study of Jewish

Resistance.

The Institute fosters research in Holocaust and Genocide Studies, broadly defined. Fields of inquiry

include, but are not limited to:

¡ªhistoriography and documentation of the Holocaust;

¡ªethics and the Holocaust;

¡ªcomparative genocide studies; and

¡ªthe impact of the Holocaust on contemporary society and culture.

The Institute welcomes a variety of approaches by scholars in history, political science, philosophy,

religion, sociology, literature, psychology, and other disciplines. It especially encourages scholarly work

that utilizes the extraordinarily rich archival materials that the Museum has collected in Eastern Europe,

Germany, and the former U.S.S.R. The Institute¡¯s collections cover a wide range of subjects pertaining to

the Holocaust, its origins, and its aftermath.
