After fleeing Nazism, many Jews concealed their identities to survive and protect their loved ones. Following the war, these Holocaust survivors and their descendants struggled to find those left behind. Learn how personal artifacts help families piece together their past. View our event page for the full list of speakers, including a Holocaust survivor, a genealogy specialist, and the Museum’s longtime chief acquisitions curator, moderated by CNN's Bianna Golodryga.
