Located in Battery Park City in Manhattan, the Museum of Jewish Heritage is a memorial to those who perished in the Holocaust. Housed in a six-sided building designed by Roche-Dinkeloo to symbolize the six points of the Star of David and the six million Jews who died in the Holocaust, the museum was founded in 1997 to educate people about the “the broad tapestry of Jewish life in the 20th and 21st centuries, before, during, and after the Holocaust.” Topped by a pyramid structure known as the Living Memorial to the Holocaust, the museum features a collection of more than 25,000 items relating to modern Jewish history and the Holocaust, ranging from artifacts and photographs to documentary films.
