Located on the waterfront, overlooking the Statue of Liberty and
Ellis Island, the Museum tells of the struggles and triumphs, and the rich culture of the Jewish people through 800 historical and cultural artifacts and more than 2,000 photographs. 24 documentaries introduce the faces and voices of Holocaust survivors, rescuers, and witnesses, including testimonies collected by the Museum and from Spielberg's Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation. The Museum is organized around three themes: early 20th century Jewish Life, the war against the Jews, and Jewish renewal.
