Museo del Holocausto de Buenos Aires

What Museo del Holocausto de Buenos Aires does

Museo del Holocausto de Buenos Aires is a non-profit cultural and educational institution founded in 1995 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, dedicated to preserving the memory of the Holocaust-Shoá and educating new generations through exhibitions, survivor testimonies, and anti-discrimination programming. Its core offering is a permanent exhibition of objects, documents, and survivor testimonies, supplemented by guided individual and institutional visits, temporary exhibitions (including a joint exhibition with the Czech Republic on diplomat Vladimír Vochoč in 2026), and an expansive educational portfolio comprising in-person and virtual courses, didactic materials, the Cronología de la Shoá timeline, and the Nuestra Memoria podcast launched for the museum's 30th anniversary. The technology layer consists of a 360° virtual tour of the permanent exhibition accessible globally via desktop and mobile (with optional guide-led Zoom sessions), the searchable Proyecto Sobrevivientes database of Holocaust survivors who took refuge in Argentina, and interactive Genially-based educational modules.

The institution's revenue mix combines modest admissions fees (tiered $2,000–$8,000 ARS for paying visitors, with free entry on Mondays and for all school visits and visitors under 19), course fees ($30,000–$90,000 ARS), and the largest share — donations and sponsorships from a diversified corporate, governmental, and individual donor base including the German Embassy, Petrocuya, TGS, Citi, Grupo Solanas, and Origenes Seguros de Retiro, channeled partly through donaronline.org. Customer segments span educational institutions (primary by volume but free), individual visitors (primary by ticket revenue), government and judicial bodies (anti-discrimination training agreements with the Centro de Formación Judicial, FAM, Cámara Federal de Tucumán, and the Supreme Court), and corporate donors. Distribution is anchored at the single Montevideo 919 site in Buenos Aires but extended globally via virtual tours, virtual courses, and a broad social media presence on Facebook, X, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and WhatsApp.

• United States Holocaust Memorial Museum: The preeminent Holocaust museum in the United States, also federally chartered and dedicated to Holocaust education, remembrance, and survivor testimony preservation. Operates permanent and traveling exhibitions, educational programs, and a digital archive of comparable scope, making it the closest functional analogue to the Buenos Aires museum.
• Anne Frank House: Amsterdam-based museum at the site of Anne Frank's hiding place, focused on Holocaust memory and education. Comparable in combining a heritage site, museum, educational publishing, and international digital reach through virtual exhibitions.
• Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust: New York-based Holocaust museum with similar offerings: permanent exhibitions, survivor testimony collection, educational programs, and digital learning. Operates as a comparably scaled nonprofit with mixed admissions, donations, and education revenue model.

Direct operational partner of the museum on commemorations and the TikTok online-hate-speech initiative, with overlapping audience and donor base in Argentina.

Operates adjacent heritage and educational programming tied to the 1994 AMIA bombing memorial, sharing donors, audience, and commemorative event coordination with the Holocaust museum.
