The Museum - symbol of the Holocaust - is engaged in a variety of activities. It preserves and secures post-camp objects and buildings, as well as acquiring, studying, and providing access to documents and other items of historical value as photographs, microfilms, negatives, etc. It also assembles mostly camp objects and items found at the site after being plundered from the victims of mass extermination on their arrival in the camp. The great majority (90%) consists of items found on the grounds: personal effects, clothing, shoes, and objects associated with the life, work, and extermination of the prisoners. The museum organizes temporary exhibitions that are presented at the Museum and elsewhere (in Poland and abroad) in order to educate the public about the Nazi occupation.

On April 6th, 1944, forty-four children who were being sheltered in the Izieu children's home and the seven adults in charge of them were arrested by the Lyon Gestapo and were gassed in the extermination camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau. All that because they were Jewish. So an association was created, on Sabine Zlatin's initiative, with the aim of perpetuating the memory of the Izieu tragedy and turning the children's home into a memorial museum.
To give a fuller understanding of past events as well as to stimulate thought on crime against humanity the museum offers guided tours, a program of temporary exhibitions, conferences and workshops.
