Tasks to be performed by the Holocaust Memorial Servant*

Assist the Curator of Collections in the duties of interviewing donors and recording the information from those donors associated with the contribution of artifacts to the permanent collections of the Museum.
Assist the Education Department of the Museum in planning and administration of educational programming for schools, educators and visitors and will include a film and lecture series, family workshops and lesson plans for educators.
Assist Museum staff in Special Projects as assigned, particularly tasks associated with the opening of the Pacific Exhibit in the Museum scheduled for December 7, 2001.
Assist in the recording and transcription of oral histories related to World War II experiences from veterans and their relatives, medical workers, and home-front workers. This intern will provide this assistance in conjunction with our sister institution, the University of New Orleans Eisenhower Center.
Assist in the development and implementation of a World War II Registry, a database of information about individual veterans who fought in World War II. Information such as individual hometowns, branch of service, where each was stationed, where they fought and other pertinent facts might be included. The registry is envisioned as a research tool for future generations to locate information about their grandparents and great-grandparents. This project will potentially become a national resource for World War II information and will eventually be placed on the World Wide Web.
