History Unfolded is a project of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC. It asks students, teachers, and history buffs throughout the United States what was possible for Americans to have known about the Holocaust as it was happening and how Americans responded.
Participants look in local newspapers for news and opinion about 41 different Holocaust-era events that took place in the United States and Europe, and submit articles they find to a national database, as well as information about newspapers that did not cover events. History Unfolded raises questions for scholars and will inform the Museum’s initiative on Americans and the Holocaust.
Join us to collaborate on the "History Unfolded: US Newspapers and the Holocaust" project.
We will find and upload historical articles from the Holocaust from local, college, and black press newspapers. Your research will support ongoing exhibit work at the University Libraries as well as research at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Program will include:
