Museum of Jewish Heritage, New York

A Living Memorial to the Holocaust, this museum contains a core exhibition of more than 2,000 historic photographs and 800 historical and cultural artifacts, as well as 24 original documentary films. These devices educate people of all ages and backgrounds about the broad tapestry of Jewish life over the past century, before, during, and after the Holocaust. In fall 2003, the Museum of Jewish Heritage dedicated its 82,000-square-foot Robert M. Morgenthau Wing, which contains the state-of-the-art Edmond J. Safra Hall, Andy Goldsworthy's Garden of Stones, catering hall, classrooms, and expanded gallery space, for special exhibitions. Check website for more details on current and upcoming events.
