“During this unprecedented time our work continues and will be needed long after this crisis is behind us,” HMH CEO Dr. Kelly J. Zúñiga said. “We remain committed to our mission to educate the public about the Holocaust and Human Rights by creating and sharing online learning opportunities to those looking for at-home assistance.”

The museum has been closed since March 16 in an effort to protect visitors from coronavirus exposure. Since then, the HMH team has designed a virtual learning experience to educate and entertain its supporters.

HMH is also working to provide virtual exhibition tours, online storytime and various Facebook Live events that they plan to debut in the upcoming weeks.
