Holocaust Museum Moves to Site Near LACMA

LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust has moved to a location across from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

The move to 6006 Wilshire Blvd., at the southwest corner of Ogden Drive and Wilshire, was prompted by the need for earthquake repairs at its original location in the community building of the Jewish Federation. Museum Chairman Osias Goren said the new building should also make it easier to combine museum visits. “When people leave LACMA, they will have the opportunity to visit us just across the street,” he said.

Established in 1978, the museum’s exhibits examine the lives of European Jews and the history of the Holocaust and anti-Semitism, using photographs, documents and rare and personal artifacts.
