About Holocaust Memorial Museum of San Antonio

The Holocaust Memorial Museum of San Antonio is a program of the Jewish Federation of San Antonio. It has offered education about the Holocaust since 1975 and opened its doors to the public in 2000. Visitors can learn through survivor testimony, interactive exhibits, and guided tours. The museum's mission centers on warning against hatred, prejudice, and indifference while promoting democratic values and human dignity. Walk-in guests can take a self-guided tour of four exhibit areas, and trained docents lead scheduled group tours. Its campus is at the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Jewish Campus on Military Highway in northwest San Antonio.
