The Museum’s Holocaust Encyclopedia is the most visited and comprehensive Holocaust resource online today. It provides the public, educators, faculty, students, and scholars with hundreds of articles, access to our digitized collections, critical thinking and discussion questions, lesson plans, oral histories, videos, and much more. It includes over 950 articles in English. Hundreds of these articles have been translated into 19 languages, including Arabic, Farsi, Russian, and Spanish.

Each year, this Encyclopedia serves millions of people all over the world. Many who might not otherwise have access to this important history use Encyclopedia resources to explore how and why the Holocaust happened. To address the tremendous changes in how people learn and consume information in a digital world, we continually develop the Encyclopedia to ensure that it not just meets but exceeds our users’ needs and expectations.
