The Holocaust Center schedules group field trips for students ages 10 and up.  For most students, this correlates with a fifth-grade age-level. Any younger visitors accompanied by a parent are welcome on the understanding that parents are in the best position to evaluate their child’s emotional and educational readiness. Some of the traveling exhibits we host are more appropriate for children than others. The Holocaust Center does not rely significantly on graphic representations of Nazi brutality; however, evidence of Holocaust crimes is present within the permanent exhibit. Parental discretion is advised.

The Holocaust Center does not have Survivors present as part of our normal, daily operations.  We host events, which Survivors are frequently present. Visitors are encouraged to view upcoming programs that may feature Survivor presenters.  It may be possible to make an appointment to meet a Holocaust Survivor by special arrangement, but such opportunities are rare and diminishing over time. Because Survivor testimony is important, the Center provides visitors with opportunities to interact with recorded testimonies in the permanent exhibit area and through our archival holdings.

Yes, photos may be taken of the permanent exhibit and the museum itself. Make sure to tag us on social media!
