The mission of the Museum is to educate people of all ages and backgrounds about the broad tapestry of Jewish life in the 20th and 21st centuries—before, during, and after the Holocaust.
Multiple perspectives on modern Jewish history, life, and culture are presented in the Museum’s unique Core Exhibition and award-winning special exhibitions.
Acclaimed public programs, including discussions, films, plays, and concerts, highlight the richness of Jewish culture and ideas.
The Museum is also home to National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene.
