Virginia Holocaust Museum, Holocaust museum in Richmond, United States.
The Virginia Holocaust Museum is a place that collects and displays hundreds of artifacts, photographs, and documents from that period. The items are distributed across different sections, each showing specific aspects of this history.
The museum was founded in 1997 and moved to a former warehouse in 2003. It preserves memories from people who survived and later made their home in Virginia.
The museum preserves oral histories and personal stories from survivors that visitors encounter directly throughout the galleries. The displays show how people lived during that time and what paths they took to survive.
The museum sits near downtown and has free parking nearby. Visitors can walk in anytime, though it is wise to check beforehand which areas are currently open to the public.
At the entrance sits an actual German railway car that was used for deportations. Next to the car lie cobblestones from the Warsaw ghetto, a reminder of the destroyed city.
