Description
The Writing Retreat is an annual competitive program administered by the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

The retreat offers lodging, meals, and transportation reimbursement so participants can focus on writing. The program is supported by The Marcus Foundation.
