The Museum of Jewish Heritage, located in lower Manhattan, is a living memorial to those who perished in the Holocaust. The Museum’s collection contains more than 25,000 items about modern Jewish history and the Holocaust. Many of these items rotate into the Core Exhibition, while others are featured in temporary exhibitions. The Core Exhibition is housed in a remarkable six-sided building —symbolic of the six points of the Star of David and the six million Jews who died in the genocide.
