United States Holocaust Memorial Museum 於 1993 年開幕,毗鄰 National Mall,是美國官方專為悼念六百萬名猶太人及數百萬名慘遭納粹政權迫害的受害者而設的紀念館與活歷史博物館。館內樓高三層的常設展覽按時間順序,透過逾 900 件文物、珍貴歷史影片及倖存者的口述錄音,完整還原 1933 年納粹掌權至戰後解放與歷史餘波的歷程。建築師 James Ingo Freed 特別以磚石、鋼鐵與玻璃結構呼應集中營的建築語彙,營造出令人反思且沉重的氛圍;參觀動線最終通往六角形的 Hall of Remembrance,在此長明不滅的火焰前悼念逝者。博物館免費入場,館內亦設有專為兒童設計的展覽、定期更換的主題裝置,並積極推動大規模的學術研究與防止種族滅絕計劃。
