Donations
The Swedish Holocaust Museum exists to preserve and carry forward memories of the Holocaust. To build up a collection based on gathering knowledge in the form of stories, testimonies, photographs, archive materials or objects.
Want to tell us your story?
Please get in touch with us with a brief description of what you wish to tell us. Sending in your story is the same process as sending in an object. We can accept narratives that are written down or recorded as audio or video. We also conduct our own interviews.
What happens to everything that is collected?
Everything that comes in will be kept in our storage space and archives. The material will be available to the general public and for research. The museum will use the material in various ways, such as to share knowledge in digital channels, in exhibitions or in programmes.
How long does it take?
The process at the museum is that the question of donating an object or contributing a narrative goes through several stages before we can accept the object, document, or narrative. At present, it takes about 3 to 4 months of processing before, say, an object becomes part of the collection.
If you wish to donate to the collection, you are welcome to contact the museum. Contact samlingar@museumforintelsen.se if you have any questions or suggestions for donations to the collection.
