About Us
The Museum of Jewish Heritage - A Living Memorial to the Holocaust
honors those who died by celebrating their lives - cherishing the civilization
that they built, their achievements and faith, their joys and hopes, and
the vibrant Jewish community that is their legacy today.
In the Museum's core exhibition, personal objects, photographs, and original
films illustrate the story of Jewish heritage in the twentieth century.
The Museum's unique collection forms the solid foundation of this important
archive, a significant educational resource for students, teachers, and
scholars. In addition, the collection provides source materials for permanent
and temporary exhibitions, and for traveling exhibitions.
The Morgenthau wing is the venue for performances, education and instruction,
special exhibitions, remembrance, and special events. Special exhibitions
afford the Museum the opportunity to complement the themes expressed in
the core exhibition in greater detail.
