Using moving first-person histories, the Museum of Jewish Heritage -- A Living Memorial to the Holocaust brings to life the essence and beauty of the Jewish heritage and spirit -- as it existed long before the Holocaust, sustained itself during this unspeakable tragedy, and emerged even stronger after it. The Museum's mission is to help visitors of every age and background experience the rich tapestry of Jewish life over the past century, and feel the hope Jewish people have for the future.

As you're drawn from exhibit to exhibit through this dramatic 112,000-square-foot museum, you'll have a chance to view 24 original documentaries, thousands of fascinating artifacts, personal photographs, documents, and archival films that have been gathered for nearly two decades. The museum also offers musical and theatrical performances depicting Jewish life around the world, thought-provoking lectures and spirited debates, rarely seen films, and special events geared for visitors of all ages, nationalities and religions. Step out the back door to the Battery Park waterfront, and the view of Lady Liberty takes on an even broader meaning.
