Jewish Heritage Museum
The Museum of Jewish Heritage is a living memorial to the Holocaust. It first opened in 1997 and features a collection of more than 25,000 objects that illustrate Jewish heritage in the 20th century. New York was the natural choice for its location, having a larger Jewish population than any other city in the world.
The exhibits on display include personal objects, photographs, and original films. The museum is spread over three floors, each with a different theme: Jewish Life a Century Ago, The War Against the Jews, and The Jewish Renewal. Special exhibitions are held from time to time.
