OUR MISSION
Holocaust Museum Houston educates the public about the Holocaust, preserves and defends the memory of the six million Jews and millions of other victims, and honors the legacy and voices of Holocaust survivors. Drawing upon the lessons of history, we challenge antisemitism, hatred and indifference while promoting individual responsibility, moral courage, and respect for human rights.
OUR VISION
We imagine a world that honors and preserves the memory of the Holocaust, confronts antisemitism, hatred and indifference, and upholds the dignity and sanctity of every human life. Through remembrance and education, we strive to build a just, compassionate, and informed society in which genocide and systemic oppression are impossible, and in which every individual embraces their responsibility for our shared future.
