Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust

The 30,000-square-foot Museum of Jewish Heritage is located on the waterfront at 36 Battery Place in Battery Park City. With its six-sided shape and tiered roof symbolic of the six points of the Star of David and the six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust, the Museum has proved a powerful attraction as one of New York City’s cultural destinations.

The Museum goes beyond recounting the horrors of the Holocaust; its mission is to educate people of all ages and backgrounds about the broad tapestry of Jewish life over the past century – before, during, and after the Holocaust. BPCA periodically collaborates with the Museum as part of its free programming.
