Morgan Family Welcome Center

Memorial Room

Located in the far back corner of the Museum, just past Bearing Witness , the Memorial Room is a place for meditation and contemplation with the Wall of Tears featuring 600 hand-painted light-reflective ceramic tiles representing the six million Jews that perished in the Holocaust.

The Welcome Center provides a short orientation film that sets the tone covering Jewish life prior to WWI and WWII, traditions and origins, the Weimar period in Germany’s history and a brief history of antisemitism, including a definition and examples of pogroms and propaganda.
