Association of Holocaust Organizations
The Association of Holocaust Organizations (AHO), a 501(c)(3), was established in 1995 to serve as an international network of organizations and individuals for the advancement of Holocaust education, remembrance, and research. Among its functions and services are: annual conferences, a winter seminar, regional conferences, co-sponsorship of other conferences and seminars, a listserv for members, a website, and the publication of an annual print directory.
The AHO is governed by a nine-member board of directors, which is elected by and from the membership at its annual business meeting. The term of office is three years. The AHO is run on a voluntary basis. Membership dues cover the expenses of the organization.
AHO Website

The Members Directory lists the countries which have AHO members in them, as well as their major contact information. The Traveling Exhibit page shows the available exhibits for rent by their “home” museums; the page also has descriptions, contact information, and availability of the exhibits.
