The Museum of Jewish Heritage in Manhattan's Battery Park City celebrates those who perished in the Holocaust with a living memorial that educates its visitors on 20th and 21st century Jewish history. It honors victims, and teaches visitors about this crucial part of history and heritage through an extensive exhibit showcasing significant items from modern Jewish history and the Holocaust itself. Built in 1997 as a place to remember and reflect, the Museum features an iconic building with six distinct points representing the Star of David on top of its pyramid roof. These same points symbolize the six million Jews who died during the Holocaust, adding an emotional impact that lingers long after a visitor leaves the premises. With many personal artifacts telling unique stories about individuals directly impacted by the events described within its walls, The Living Memorial provides tangible reminders of one's connection to those victims whose suffering paved the way for hope today and informs the ongoing pursuit of a world free from similar tragedy in the future.
