Spungen holocaust collection: the foundation owns an archive of holocaust and genocide-related artifacts used to raise awareness of and facilitate discussions about the holocaust and breakdowns in humanity. Expenses are incurred to collect, maintain, exhibit, and promote the foundation's archive to schools, universities, teacher conferences, and other venues. The foundation exhibits directly, loans artifacts to cultural and educational organizations, and licenses images of the artifacts to publishers and documentary film producers. In 2022, the foundation published "forging secrets," a book about a secret nazi project that forced jewish concentration camp prisoners to forge bank of england currency. The foundation continues to distribute copies of the book.
