MUSEUM CURATOR Susan Bachrach discusses a group of photographs showing a local Ukrainian auxiliary policeman killing a Jewish woman and child in 1941, during a preview of the new exhibit “Some Were Neighbors: Collaboration & Complicity in the Holocaust” at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, in Washington. The exhibition opens Tuesday and is about collaboration and complicity in the Nazi genocide, including interviews with some perpetrators. The museum also is launching a campaign to raise more than $500 million to help keep the memory of the Holocaust alive. On Sunday night, the museum announced it has already secured gifts totaling $258.7 million for its nine-year campaign. The goal is to raise $540 million by its 25th anniversary in 2018. The museum says the campaign will fund programs to combat anti- Semitism, Holocaust denial and contemporary genocide.
