The Holocaust was the state-sponsored, systematic persecution and annihilation of European Jewry by Nazi Germany and its collaborators between 1933 and 1945. Jews were the primary victims - six million were murdered; Gypsies, the handicapped and Poles were also targeted for destruction or decimation for racial, ethnic, or national reasons. Millions more, including homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, Soviet prisoners of war and political dissidents, also suffered grievous oppression and death under Nazi tyranny. The Museum's primary mission is to advance and disseminate knowledge about this unprecedented tragedy; to preserve the memory of those who suffered; and to encourage its visitors to reflect upon the moral and spiritual questions raised by th false false 63918739 590550 Form 990, Part III, Line 4A Program Service Accomplishments A living memorial to the Holocaust, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum inspires citizens and leaders worldwide to confront hatred, promote human dignity, and prevent genocide. A public-private partnership, federal support guarantees the Museum's permanence, and its far-reaching educational programs and global impact are made possible by donors nationwide. Located among our national monuments to freedom on the National Mall, the Museum provides a powerful lesson in the fragility of freedom, the myth of progress, the need for vigilance in preserving democratic values. With unique power and authenticity, the Museum teaches millions of people each year about the dangers of unchecked hatred and the need to prevent genocide. And we encourage them to act, cultivating a sense of moral responsibility among our citizens so that they will respond to the monumental challenges that confront our world. Today, we face an alarming rise in Holocaust denial and anti-Semitism-even in the very lands where the Holocaust happened-as well as genocide and threats of genocide in other parts of the world. This is occurring as we approach a time when Holocaust survivors and other eyewitnesses will no longer be alive. The Museum works closely with many key segments of society who will affect the future of our nation. Professionals from the fields of law enforcement, the judiciary and the military, as well as diplomacy, medicine, education and religion study the Holocaust, with emphasis on the role of their particular professions and the implications for their own responsibilities. These programs intensify their sense of commitment to the core values of their fields and their roles in the protection of individuals and society. In addition to its leadership training programs, the Museum sponsors on-site and traveling exhibitions, educational outreach, Web site, campus outreach and Holocaust commemorations, including the nation's annual observance in the U.S. Capitol. Our Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies works to ensure the continued growth and vitality of the field of Holocaust studies. As a living memorial to the Holocaust, we work to prevent genocide in the future through our Academy for Genocide Prevention which trains foreign policy professionals. Working with Holocaust survivors and an array of organizations, the Museum is a leader in galvanizing attention to the crisis in Sudan. Since its dedication in 1993, the Museum has welcomed nearly 30 million visitors, including more than 9 million school children and 91 heads of state. Today 90 percent of the Museum's visitors are not Jewish, and our Web site, the world's leading online authority on the Holocaust, on average receives visits from over 100 different countries daily. With hundreds of thousands of online visitors from countries with majority Muslim populations, translating our Web site into Arabic and Farsi is a top priority; already, portions are available in more than 20 languages. 63918739 true false false false false false true false true true true false false false false false false true true false false false true true false false false false false false

the statement of financial position. Purchases of collection items are recognized as reductions in unrestricted net assets in the period of acquisition. Proceeds from deaccessions of collection items are recognized as increases in the appropriate net asset class and are designated for future collection acquisitions. Part III, Line 4 Organization's Collections The Museum acquires its collections, which include works of art, artifacts, archives, film and video, oral history, and historical treasures, by purchase or by donation. All collections are held for public exhibition, education, or research. The Museum's collection policy includes guidance on the preservation, care, and maintenance of the collections and procedures related to the accession/deaccession of collection items. The mission and purpose of the museum's collection is to preserve for future generations the photographic, documentary, and artifactual record of this fateful period in Jewish and world history. Part V, Line 4 Endowment Funds The Museum's endowment consists of approximately 61 individual funds established for a variety of purposes. The endowment serves as a perpetual funding source for the Museum. Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 Statement The Museum is exempt from income taxation, except for their unrelated business income, under the provisions of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Museum recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. The Museum does not believe its financial statements include any uncertain tax positions.

Part I, Line 33 Revenues from Noncash Properties In conformity with the practice generally followed by museums, no value is assigned to the collections donated to the Museum in the statement of activities. The amounts shown in Part I, column B represent the number of contributions received, not the number of contributed items. It is impractical for the Museum to quantify the number and type of donations it receives for its collections. The Museum's holdings include: art - period drawings, prints, sculpture, posters, & other creative works; books & pamphlets; broadsides, advertisements, & maps; film and video - historical footage, audio & video oral testimonies, music & sound recordings; furnishing, architectural fragments, models, machinery, & tools; microfilm & microfiche of government documents & other official records; personal effects, ritual objects, jewelry, musical instruments, & numismatics (currency); personal papers - documents, correspondence, memoirs, scrapbooks, photographs, & photo albums; and textiles - uniforms, costumes, clothing, badges, armbands, flags, & banners. Form 990, Part VI, Line 11 Process for Review of Form 990 The Form 990 is prepared by the Office of Finance under the direction of the Museum's Chief Financial Officer, with consultation provided by the Museum's independent auditor. The Form 990 is reviewed internally by the Museum's Internal Auditor, the Museum's General Counsel, the Museum's Chief Financial Officer, and the Museum's Director. The draft Form 990 is then reviewed by the Museum's independent auditor, KPMG. A hard copy of the draft Form 990 is then mailed to each Council member with a cover letter stating the date the form will be filed with IRS. The letter also states that questions and comments can be forwarded to the Finance Office. After the comment period is over, the Form 990 is submitted to the IRS. Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of Interest Policy EACH COUNCIL MEMBER IS ANNUALLY GIVEN A COPY OF THE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND ETHICS POLICY. THAT POLICY REQUIRES THEM TO SIGN AN ANNUAL COMPLIANCE STATEMENT THAT CONFIRMS THEY HAVE READ THE POLICY AND AGREE TO COMPLY WITH ITS PROVISIONS. THE COUNCIL'S GENERAL COUNSEL COLLECTS SIGNED AND SUBMITTED ANNUAL COMPLIANCE STATEMENTS AND WILL REPORT TO THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND THE AUDIT AND REVIEW COMMITTEE WHETHER ANY COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE FAILED TO SUBMIT THEIR ANNUAL COMPLIANCE STATEMENT AND, FOR THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED, WHETHER THERE ARE ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST DISCLOSED THEREIN. KEY STAFF MEMBERS, OFFICE HEADS, CONTRACTING OFFICIALS, AND OTHER STAFF MEMBERS HAVING FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY AND SELECTED BY THE MUSEUM'S GENERAL COUNSEL ARE REQUIRED TO ANNUALLY COMPLETE AND SUBMIT A CONFIDENTIAL FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE REPORT. THE REPORTS ARE REVIEWED BY THE MUSEUM'S GENERAL COUNSEL FOR ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND, WHERE FOUND, CORRECTIVE MEASURES WILL BE REQUIRED. Form 990, Part VI, Lines 15a & 15b Process for Determining Officers' Compensation The director of the Museum is the chief executive officer of the Museum. The Director is appointed by the Chairperson of the Museum's Council (its "board of trustees"), subject to confirmation of the Council. To establish the Director's salary under the current contract, the Council retained the services of a lawyer and consultant whose expertise is compensation matters for executives for nonprofit entities to conduct a comparable compensation study for the director's position. Working with the Executive Review Committee of the Council, several comparable non-profits were selected to study. The consultant collected compensation information on the chief executives of these non-profits and provided the Executive Review Committee with an analysis. The comparative data was used by the Executive Review Committee in its discussions with the consultant to develop a recommendation for a new compensation package beginning in fiscal year 2007. It was determined that before the study, the Museum Director's salary was below the 50th percentile among her peers at other similar nonprofit institutions. In recognition of the Museum Director's past superior performance, her long tenure at the institution, and value to the Museum, the Executive Review Committee recommended to the Executive Committee of the Council that the Director's compensation rate be set at the 75th percentile going forward, and adjusted the Director's base salary accordingly. The compensation review also identified a deficiency in the Museum Director's retirement plan when compared with other similarly situated senior executives, and adjusted it accordingly. The current written employment contract for the Museum Director has a term from January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2013, with an option to extend for two years, exercisable by the Museum. The negotiations with the Museum Director were conducted at arms-length and the Council used an outside law firm rather than the Museum's General Counsel or the Council's General Counsel to conduct negotiations with the Museum Director. To establish the Chief Development Officer's compensation, the Museum retained the services of a consulting firm to review the competitiveness in the private fundraising industry for the Development staff compensation structure. The consultant collected and analyzed data from other comparable organizations. They concluded that the Chief Development Officer's compensation was below the average compensation of the comparable organizations. Based on this conclusion, a conference call was held with the co-chairs of the Development Committee, chair of the Council and the Director. The decision was made to set the compensation at the average compensation level. The Chief Development Officer's current written employment contract started January 1, 2010 and ends December 31, 2011. All other officers are Federal Government employees.
