Abstract

Preparation for the opening of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., in April 1993, exposed workers to potentially disturbing personal artifacts of Holocaust victims and other reminders of the horrors of the Holocaust. The process of psychological consultation is described, and the resultant approaches to interventions designed to lower distress among museum workers and volunteers are discussed.
