The United States Holocaust and Memorial Museum - A living memorial to the Holocaust, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum stimulates leaders and citizens to confront hatred, prevent genocide, promote human dignity, and strengthen democracy. A public-private partnership, federal support guarantees the Museum’s permanence, and donors nationwide make possible its educational activities and global outreach. In addition to its leadership training programs, the Museum sponsors on-site and traveling exhibitions, educational outreach, Web site, campus outreach and Holocaust commemorations, including the nation’s annual observance in the U.S. Capitol.
 The Museum of Jewish Heritage - A Living Memorial to the Holocaust - honors those who died by celebrating their lives - cherishing the civilization that they built, their achievements and faith, their joys and hopes, and the vibrant Jewish community that is their legacy today.
In the Museum's core exhibition, personal objects, photographs, and original films illustrate the story of Jewish heritage in the twentieth century. The Museum's unique collection forms the solid foundation of this important archive, a significant educational resource for students, teachers, and scholars. In addition, the collection provides source materials for permanent and temporary exhibitions, and for traveling exhibitions.  Since 1955, Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Authority in Jerusalem, Israel, has worked to further Holocaust remembrance, documentation, research and education. The Shoah Victims’ Names Recovery Project is the museum’s effort to memorialize every individual Jew who perished during the Holocaust (or “Shoah” in Hebrew). To date, individual Pages of Testimony have been filled out for over half of the Holocaust’s six million Jewish victims. More information (in several languages) may be found at: http://www.yadvashem.org.
 The World Society of Częstochowa Jews acts as a clearing house of information and education. It aims to foster and support research into the history of Częstochowa Jews - their vital contribution to the commerce, industry, and culture of Częstochowa and beyond.
The Society was an outgrowth of The Jews of Częstochowa, an exhibition tracing the history of the Jewish community of Częstochowa from the beginning of the nineteenth century through the tragic years of WWII and the post-war period. The many photographs and precious objects came from state and private collections, both from Poland and abroad.
The Association of Holocaust Organizations serves as a network of organizations and individuals for the advancement of Holocaust programming, awareness, education and research. Among its functions and services are: annual conventions, a winter seminar at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, a listserv for members and a published directory of members. The directory is published annually and is intended to facilitate those aims. It is distributed, free of charge, to all organizations and individuals who can make use of the information it contains.

Next Generations is an organization of children and grandchildren of Holocaust survivors who wish to educate future generations by preserving the memories of the past, carrying forward the message into the future, and keeping the voices alive. Located in South Florida, they support Holocaust education in the schools and sponsor educational events for the children and grandchildren of Holocaust survivors and the greater community. The organization provides opportunities for the children of survivors to meet and share their experiences and they develop and promote elder care services for their local survivor population.
ShoahConnect, created in 2007 by hobbyist genealogist Logan Joseph Kleinwaks, is based on a simple yet most powerful idea: enabling the association of e-mail addresses with the Shoah Victims' Names Recovery Project Pages of Testimony. The site offers a tool to be used in conjunction with Yad Vashem’s website, enabling email addresses to be associated with Pages of Testimony and facilitating semi-private contact between people associated with the same Pages. An interview with Mr. Kleinwaks and more information on his project may be found here.
