Take Action: Help #SafeguardTheirStories

Join the US Holocaust Memorial Museum's Chicago Teen Committee in a national campaign to raise money to safeguard the stories of Holocaust victims and survivors.

Here's how to participate.

  1. Make a donation using this form.
  2. Post a photo of yourself on social media holding your own #SafeguardTheirStories sign and let others know why you care about keeping Holocaust memory alive. Don’t forget to include ushmm.org/safeguard and #SafeguardTheirStories in your post. See sample language below.
  3. Now it’s time to get your network involved! At the end of your post, tag at least three friends to participate within 24 hours of your post.

The money raised will support the construction of the David and Fela Shapell Family Collections and Conservation Center, part of the Museum's national campaign, "Never Again: What You Do Matters," which will preserve the evidence of the Holocaust for future generations. This evidence will one day be the sole authentic witness to the Holocaust.

We can’t do it alone. Help us #SafeguardTheirStories!
