Holocaust Museum Houston

The Holocaust memorial museum is the fourth largest in the U.S. and opened in 1996. The museum was built to tell the story of those being persecuted before and during WWII.

The three-story facility comprises a welcome center, four permanent galleries and two rotating exhibition galleries, classrooms, a research library, a café, a 187-seat indoor theater, and a 175-seat outdoor amphitheater. The museum uses all-too-real examples of the terrors of the Nazi regime in Europe, exhibits highlight the dangers of prejudice and hatred in society by focusing on the stories of survivors. A railcar used to transfer victims and a small Dutch fishing boat used to take Jews to safety are among the major objects in the collection. The Boniuk Library, which has over 5,000 Holocaust-related books as well as various artifacts, documents, photos, and films, is particularly noteworthy.
