Mission Statement: The Wilhelm Gustloff Museum is an online non-profit museum dedicated to exhibiting memorabilia of historical value for public viewing and research benefit. By promoting and displaying such artifacts, they are prevented from falling into private collections where their history will be forgotten and be lost to the world. Consisting of 36 pages, 40 photo albums, over 3,400 photographs, 320 speisekarten, and over 250 artifacts, Edward Petruskevich has made the Wilhelm Gustloff Museum the largest public collection of the Wilhelm Gustloff and Robert Ley artifacts in the world. In 2017, he was able to merge www.wilhelmgustloff.com with the museum, obtaining an additional 200 pages of information on the liner and her disaster. In an effort to increase awareness about the Wilhelm Gustloff, I published the online museum into 4 books for those who prefer to have a hardcopy on hand. The titles are: Construction to Maiden Voyage, Maiden Voyage, Voyages, and WWII to SInking.
