On View
The museum presents a detailed and comprehensive chronicle of the Holocaust in six galleries, using multimedia displays, photographs, artifacts, archival footage, and testimonies from local Survivors and Liberators. It also looks at genocides and acts of intolerance that have happened in the years since 1945, asking visitors to think about the actions an individual can take to promote resistance to prejudice and to prevent the spread of hate.
Unlike any other museum, our 3,300 square foot exhibition links this history to Nassau County, Long Island, and the communities we live in. Artifacts from individuals who moved to Long Island factor prominently in the galleries. Similarly, first-hand accounts from Survivors and Liberators from Long Island can be heard throughout the exhibition. This focus on local connections emphasizes the individual stories of tragedy and heroism.
Galleries focus on topics such as:
Portraits of European Jews Before WWII | The Rise of the Nazi Party | Lebensraum: The Occupation of Europe | The Nazi Camp System: Slavery and Murder
Death Marches: The Last Chapter of Nazism | Liberators: From Warriors to Caregivers | Displaced Person Camps | Justice after Genocide
Global and Local Intolerance Since 1945 | Ordinary Heroes Standing Up to Intolerance | Perpetrators, Bystanders, and Upstanders
