Plan Your Visit

A visit to the Zekelman Holocaust Center will teach you about the Holocaust and inspire you to create a better future. We offer docent-led public tours Sunday through Friday at 1:00 PM and a Holocaust Survivor Speaker on Sunday at 12:00 PM. Explore exhibits that include a WWII-era boxcar used by the Nazis to transport Jews and other “undesirables” to concentration camps, and the Viola and Garry Kappy Anne Frank Tree Exhibit and Garden featuring a chestnut tree grown from a sapling taken from the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam. Learn about the importance of standing up against prejudice, discrimination, and hate from the examples of those who risked their lives to save others during the Holocaust.
