Dear Friend,

I hope you had the chance to watch the video my young friend Danielle recently shared with you about my doll, Marlene.

I donated Marlene to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum because I want her to be preserved forever in memory of all children whose lives were destroyed by the Holocaust.

Artifacts like my doll give proof to the world that the Holocaust happened. The Museum is in a race against time to acquire evidence in more than 40 countries.

Your gift will support this effort and help the Museum educate more young people like my friend Danielle through artifacts and the powerful stories associated with them.

Thank you for making a generous year-end donation today. When we survivors are no longer here to tell our stories, these items will be the only authentic evidence that can help combat rising Holocaust denial and antisemitism.

Thank you,

Inge Auerbacher
Holocaust Survivor

P.S. My doll, Marlene, was my constant companion when I was at the Terezin concentration camp. After my parents, Marlene was what I was most afraid of losing. Since I donated her to the Museum, I no longer have to worry about Marlene being lost. Please help the Museum preserve this important history.
