Additional Information

The St. Louis Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum is located at:

#36 Millstone Campus Drive    St. Louis Missouri 63146

On November 2, 2022, the Holocaust Museum reopened it's doors, following a two year, $25 million renovation. The new 36,000 square foot educational facility is actually four times its previous size!  Updated technology combined with powerful exhibitions offer an experience that preserves the past through the present and projects into the future.  Presented is a larger, up to date, interactive and permanent Holocaust exhibition.  It has been a long, rewarding process that has been well worth the wait for visitors. Every step of the way, the museum reveals the faces, stories and voices of local Holocaust survivors, liberators and witnesses.

The tour of the Museum will be led by a volunteer with an extensive background and knowledge of the true accounts and documented, historical facts/events that occurred during the years of the Holocaust. This is certainly a one of a kind opportunity, to obtain more accurate information about the period of time during World War II known as the Holocaust. Everything that took place still affects us today on an international level, and is exceedingly significant in World History. We may get to meet a survivor as I did request that, but is based on availability.

IMPORTANT: It is my (Mary) understanding that no one under 10 years of age will be admitted, so please acknowledge that. Personally I recommend that your child/student should be at least 12 years old to attend. Thank you.

Note from Mary Murphy:  I was blessed to meet a survivor of the death camps (as they came to be known). In the years 1972 -73 I became acquainted with a lady in Baumholder, Germany who operated a business in that very small town. Her name was Anne Lerche and she lost 76 family members, including her husband. She was Dutch, but stayed in Germany because in her words "Holland could never be home again".  On Sunday afternoons I would go visit with Anne in her tiny apartment, and try in the best way I could to tell her about Jesus. Sweet lady!
