Physical Description Text describing the appearance of the place and its situation on the Mall. The design of the USHMM is meant to evoke the architecture of Holocaust sites. Though not referencing any location specifically, the architecture and building materials give the look and feel of Holocaust camps and ghettos. In this way the building is itself an exhibit space, connecting to the messages and artifacts within.

Title A name given to the resource United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Description An account of the resource The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum serves as a memorial to the thousands of people murdered during the Holocaust, and to teach about the need to prevent genocide worldwide. Suggested by the President’s Commission on the Holocaust in 1979, the act to create the museum was unanimously approved by Congress in 1980. Some citizens objected by questioning why a museum remembering the European Holocaust had a place on the National Mall. During construction, workers buried two cans containing pledges of remembrance by Holocaust survivors in the ground under the Hall of Remembrance. In addition to the permanent exhibition tracing the history of the Holocaust, the museum has special exhibits focusing on specific experiences and modern genocides.
