Congress has restored funding of appropriated activities, and the National Archives has begun to restore normal operations. We are working to open to the public as soon as possible. Please check our website for updates.

We’re sorry, but we will not be able to post updates to our social media channels during the government shutdown. All National Archives events– virtual or in person– are canceled until further notice. We will be unable to reply to messages or emails until the government reopens.

General Eisenhower requested members of the media and Congress to see the #ConcentrationCamp atrocities with their own eyes. #InternationalHolocaustRemembranceDay catalog.archives.gov/id/12007738
