    We have information on our website to include mailing this information to the school 2 weeks before they visit the Museum:

    Welcome to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.  We look forward to your visit and have included a Museum link United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to help you prepare your students before they arrive at the Museum.  We encourage visitors and students to reflect on the contemporary relevance of the Holocaust while they are visiting the Museum, however, we please ask our visitors to respect the dignity of this memorial and to be considerate of other visitors touring the Museum.

    Below is additional information which we hope will assist you in your visit to the Permanent Exhibition.

    Chaperone’s role while visiting the Museum

     

    Supervision of students and their conduct is essential to a meaningful visit to the Museum. We urge guests of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) to respect the Museum's resources, the dignity of this memorial, and to be considerate of others while in the Museum. Museum staff will try to alleviate any problems caused by any student disruption by always coordinating with your tour operator or school representative up to and including removal if visitors and/or students persist in behavior that clearly violates Museum building and grounds regulations.
