Holocaust Legacy Foundation
About
The Holocaust Legacy Foundation is the Boston nonprofit behind Holocaust Museum Boston, its signature project, which is set to open in early spring 2027. The museum will use immersive exhibits and personal testimonies to tell stories of survival, resistance and humanity during the Holocaust. Its aim is to encourage reflection, critical thinking, empathy and action, inspiring visitors to practice compassion, champion human rights and act for justice.
Construction is well underway. Boston Mayor Michelle Wu joined local leaders for the ceremonial groundbreaking, and the building’s design and construction are progressing with Schwartz Silver Architects, The Lee Kennedy Company and project manager MGAC. The permanent exhibits, now designed, will examine the Holocaust’s history and its relevance to civic responsibility, tolerance and confronting hatred, developed in collaboration with Carolynne Harris Consulting, Cortina Productions and Luci Creative.
