The aim of the article is to present Polish and American policies of remembrance in the context of Nazi crimes, including the Holocaust, which is the biggest of them. It is in these countries that the two largest museums in the world, next to the Israeli Yad Vashem, were formed as a result of the policies of remembrance: The Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum and The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. The history of their formation is as varied as the objects being different. However, The Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum known as Auschwitz, and The US Holocaust Memorial Museum as historical museums have an educational function, and individuals learn from them what it means to belong to a group, nation, and civilization. This holds many lessons that can be regarded as moral ones
