Holocaust Memorial Miami Beach Opens
State-of-the-Art Education Center

All-New Facility Brings Holocaust History to Life Through Interactive Interviews, Meaningful Displays and More

The Holocaust Memorial Miami Beach, a Committee of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation, has entered a new era in Holocaust education, with the opening of its state-of-the-art Education Center. 

Situated on the southwest corner of the Memorial campus at 1933-1945 Meridian Avenue, the Education Center brings the story of the Holocaust into the 21st century with cutting-edge interactive technology, historic film footage and family photographs, contemporary news reports and more. It greatly expands on the Memorial’s longstanding mission to preserve Holocaust memories, educate new generations and confront the scourge of antisemitism.

The Education Center features:

• Expansive exhibition space, with 11 permanent indoor panels tracing the historical arc of the Holocaust and including family photos from local residents, and two digital panels on the recent, dramatic rise in worldwide antisemitism and other important current events (to be updated regularly)
• Multi-use space for virtual reality engagement, lectures and educational programs for students and visitors of all ages
• Two Knight Digital Theaters featuring the USC Shoah Foundation’s Dimensions in Testimony and USC Libraries Interactive Interviews. These interactive biography exhibits enable visitors to conduct real-time, one-on-one interviews with Holocaust survivors and witnesses and learn those survivors’ experiences under Nazi rule, in the concentration camps, and after liberation. Currently, the exhibit features the testimonies of 5 Holocaust survivors and 1 liberator (5 in English, 1 in Spanish).
