Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust

Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust is in the final phase of its $20 million capital campaign for its new home in Pan Pacific Park.  The Museum has a two-fold mission that has remained constant since its inception in 1961:  Holocaust commemoration and education.  The Museum provides free Holocaust education to the public, particularly students from underfunded schools and underserved communities.  Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust is a specific, focused, artifacts-based history museum which explicates the complex and enormous history of the Holocaust and its antecedents and aftermath within its chronological and historical contexts.  The Museum opened in October 2010 and anticipates hosting approximately 40,000 visitors a year.
