Virginia Holocaust Museum
If you have not been able to visit the Virginia Holocaust Museum in person, we invite you to take a virtual tour of our permanent exhibits and to use the resource links below. At VHM we honor the memories of the victims everyday – we embrace and celebrate the survivors – and we commit to keeping alive the promise of “never again.”
Your tour begins outside in front of our building with a German Güterwagen – authentic “goods wagon,” or freight car, just like those used by the Third Reich to transport millions to their death.
As you walk to the front door, notice the shattered glass – a nod to Kristallnacht (Night of Broken Glass), which foreshadowed the fate of German Jews. Look down at the granite cobblestones lining the walkway, originally from Poland’s infamous Warsaw Ghetto, and also notice the steel rails that led directly to the Treblinka extermination camp.
Once inside the museum, follow the train tracks painted on the floor, through our core exhibits which narrate the complex and sobering history of the Holocaust. And meet the Ipson family, who lived through the horrors of the Holocaust, survived, and eventually relocated to Richmond, Virginia, where they restarted their lives and thrived.

Three core exhibits anchor the museum: Discrimination and Resistance, An Oregon Primer, which identifies discrimination as a tool used to affect varied groups of people over the history of this region; The Holocaust, An Oregon Perspective, a history of the Holocaust that employs the stories of Oregon survivors; and Oregon Jewish Stories, an installation focused on the experience of the Jews of Oregon. The museum also features a robust series of virtual public programming including films screenings, lectures, and programs in support of exhibitions.

Auschwitz Concentration Camp
Nazi German concentration camp and center for the extermination of Jews created during World War II on the outskirts of Oswiecim. Initially it consisted only of Auschwitz I, created in the spring of 1940, later also of the considerably larger Birkenau camp, and later still of Monowitz and almost 50 sub-camps of various sizes. Germans murder in Auschwitz at least 1.1 million people, mostly Jews, but also Poles, Roma, Soviet POWs and people of different nationalities. All over the world, Auschwitz has become a symbol of terror, genocide, and the Holocaust. It was established by Germans in 1940, in the suburbs of Oswiecim, a Polish city that was annexed to the Third Reich by the Nazis. Its name was changed to Auschwitz, which also became the name of Konzentrationslager Auschwitz.
The direct reason for the establishment of the camp was the fact that mass arrests of Poles were increasing beyond the capacity of existing “local” prisons. The first transport of Poles reached KL Auschwitz from Tarnów prison on June 14, 1940. Initially, Auschwitz was to be one more concentration camp of the type that the Nazis had been setting up since the early 1930s. It functioned in this role throughout its existence, even when, beginning in 1942, it also became the largest of the extermination centers where the “Endlösung der Judenfrage” (the final solution to the Jewish question – the Nazi plan to murder European Jews) was carried out.
