Honoring Lives Lost to History

Holocaust Museum LA

The Holocaust Museum LA was established in 1961 by a group of Holocaust survivors, making it the oldest survivor-founded museum of its kind in the United States. The founders established the museum with their personal artifacts from the Holocaust era – photographs, uniforms, and other primary artifacts. In 2010, the museum relocated to a newly designed building in Pan Pacific Park in Los Angeles. The new building contains nine rooms which descend and decrease in light as a representation of the visitors' progression into the "darkest part of history." These rooms incorporate a combination of audio experiences, wall exhibits, photos, and video footage taken during the Holocaust.

The museum also highlights cases of non-Jewish individuals who saved Jewish lives, as well as the victimization of other non-Jewish, targeted groups during this era. Through this immersive experience and educational programming, the museum encourages visitors to connect with Holocaust survivors, invites Jewish students to remember a child who perished, and offers teachers resources to discuss the events of the Holocaust.
