Museum of Jewish Heritage - A Living Memorial to the Holocaust
Mission
The Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust is New York’s contribution to the global responsibility to never forget. Our mission is to educate people of all ages and backgrounds about the broad tapestry of Jewish life before, during, and after the Holocaust. Our collections contain almost 40,000 objects, photographs, documentary films, and survivor testimonies. Anchored by a 12,000 square foot-core exhibition, the Museum also contains special exhibition galleries, four classrooms, a 375-seat theater, an educator resource center, and a memorial art installation, Garden of Stones, designed by the internationally acclaimed sculptor Andy Goldsworth. The Museum also includes JewishGen, the global home for Jewish genealogy.

Exhibitions
As New York’s Holocaust memorial, we are committed to education and remembrance. Our exhibitions illuminate powerful stories of hope, resilience, courage, and compassion during one of the darkest chapters in human history. We develop our own exhibitions and host traveling exhibitions from around the world.
We opened "The Holocaust: What Hate Can Do," our new core exhibition, in July 2022. It is an expansive presentation of Holocaust history told through our rich collections. With over 12,000 square feet of objects, eyewitness stories, photos, and films—many on view for the first time—the exhibition examines the Holocaust’s global impact and the dangers of where hate and bigotry can lead. The exhibition tells history through individual stories to explore the heartbreaking decisions, acts of resistance, and the diversity of experiences that shaped families for generations.
Speakers Bureau of Holocaust Survivors
Members of our Speakers Bureau offer eyewitness testimony about the Holocaust to student and adult groups. Our Speakers are adept at engaging diverse audiences and speak in-person as well as over Zoom. The program offers students and the public the unparalleled opportunity to learn about history from those who lived it.
We offer this program at no charge.
Tours for School Groups
Our staff and highly-trained volunteers Gallery Educators lead school groups on guided tours of our exhibitions. These guides provide crucial context for what students are seeing and encourage discussion about the topics explored.
Public Programs
Our public programs highlight the richness of Jewish arts and culture and explore history through the lens of the Holocaust. We offer concerts, lectures, film screenings, book talks, and tours to onsite, virtual, and hybrid audiences. Programs provide the public with opportunities to interact with artists, scholars, and Holocaust survivors. Each year, we offer over 100 public programs.
