Plan Your Visit

A visit to the Zekelman Holocaust Center will teach you about the Holocaust and inspire you to create a better future. Each week, we offer docent-led public tours on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday at 1 pm and a Holocaust Survivor Speaker on Sunday at noon. Explore exhibits that include a WWII-era boxcar used by the Nazis to transport Jews and other “undesirables” to concentrations 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 to prejudice, discrimination and hate from the examples of those who risked their lives to save others during the Holocaust.

Understanding the Crisis in Yemen

Tuesday, June 14, 7:00 pm EDT

The war in Yemen, now entering its eighth year, has broken the country and created one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises. What happened, what is happening now, and what can be done about it? Join us for a talk with Yemen expert Dr. Gregory Johnsen, introduced by U.S. Representative Peter Meijer (Michigan’s 3rd district) who is a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

Dr. Gregory Johnsen is the author of The Last Refuge: Yemen, al-Qaeda, and America’s War in Arabia and a former member of the UN Security Council’s Panel of Experts on Yemen. In addition to being the editor of the Yemen Review, Dr. Johnsen is a fellow at both the Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution and the Sanaa Center for Strategic Studies.
