Museum Hours
Monday-Friday 10:00AM-4:00PM
Our state-of-the-art Holocaust museum is the only one of its kind on Long Island. The museum presents a detailed and comprehensive chronicle of the Holocaust and utilizes multimedia displays, artifacts, archival footage, testimonies from local Survivors and Liberators, and encompasses a special gallery for changing exhibits.
We offer a contextualized history to explain the 1930s increase of intolerance, the reduction of human rights, and the lack of intervention that enabled the persecution and mass murder of millions of Jews and others, including people with disabilities, Roma and Sinti (Gypsies), Jehovah's Witnesses, Gays and Polish intelligentsia.
Our museum introduces visitors to European antecedents which nurtured the evolution of Nazism, such as centuries of antisemitism and racism, the pseudo-science of eugenics, and the repercussions of WWI. The Holocaust exhibition concludes with the aftermath of Nazism and emphasizes the issues of displaced persons camps, emigration, and post-genocide justice. One feature that distinguishes our museum from other Holocaust museums is that we demonstrate the relevance of the Holocaust through our examination of current genocides and intolerance and by the celebration of today’s genocide rescuers and Upstanders.
