Abstract
Preparation for the opening of the United States Holocaust Memorial Mu seum in Washington, D.C., in April 1993, exposed workers to potentiall y disturbing personal artifacts of Holocaust victims and other reminde rs of the horrors of the Holocaust. The process of psychological consu ltation is described, and the resultant approaches to interventions de signed to lower distress among museum workers and volunteers are discu ssed.
