Since opening our permanent home in Pan Pacific Park in 2010, Holocaust Museum LA has welcomed nearly 600,000 visitors. Museum space is at capacity, particularly during school hours. To meet the need and demand for Holocaust education, we launched our “Building Truth” expansion plan to double the Museum’s footprint (without losing any green space in the park). We will soon break ground on the new Jona Goldrich Campus, designed by Museum Board member and award-winning architect Hagy Belzberg, that will allow us to keep survivor voices alive, amplify our reach and impact, and increase our visibility.

A new Learning Center Pavilion along The Grove Drive, adjacent to the existing building, will include a dedicated theater for USC Shoah Foundation’s Dimensions in Testimony exhibit; a 200-seat theater for film screenings, concerts, conferences and public programs; outdoor reflective spaces; two classrooms for large student groups and programs for younger audiences; and 2,500 sq. ft. of special exhibit space. In addition, a new pavilion built to house an authentic boxcar found outside of Majdanek death camp in Poland will be constructed on top of the existing building.
