We are thrilled to share that the Holocaust Center for Humanity was voted #1 Best Museum in the Pacific Northwest! This recognition is not just an award—it’s a powerful declaration of the importance of truth, memory, and education. Learn more about the Holocaust Center for Humanity here.
As a Holocaust museum, this honor is especially meaningful at a time when many prominent historical institutions are being challenged for presenting uncomfortable truths. In a moment when our country feels increasingly divided, and when antisemitism and hate are on the rise, the community’s vote for the Holocaust Center sent a clear message: history matters, facts matter, and the lessons of the past must continue to guide our future.
Art is connection. Art is resistance.
