Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center is not just a modern museum but a true beacon of hope and education. Thanks to dynamic programs for all audiences, advanced educational resources, and innovative opportunities for community engagement, the Center has become one of the leading museums and educational centers in the country.


The organization was founded with the aim of preserving touching stories and important lessons that shed light on one of the darkest pages of human history. The main goal of the activity is to create a community of conscious people who, guided by high moral principles, do not remain indifferent observers when faced with humanitarian injustices, social inequality, or unmet societal needs. Through active efforts directed at overcoming these problems, knowledge is disseminated and societal awareness is fostered, capable of counteracting any manifestations of injustice.
The principle of “Education that Inspires Action” became the main guideline for the community of Holocaust survivors in Cincinnati when establishing the organization in 2000. This principle reflects a deep conviction that education can be a powerful tool for stimulating active action and social change. Support and development of this principle continue through educational programs and projects aimed at preserving the memory of tragic past events and fostering an active civic stance. Through ongoing education and enlightenment activities, it is possible to honor the legacy of those who survived these difficult times and to pass on important lessons to new generations.



In 2019, the Center relocated to Cincinnati’s historic landmark, Union Terminal — an important place where thousands of local Holocaust victims arrived by train from war-torn Europe to start a new chapter of life. This move emphasizes the symbolic significance of the historic building as a witness to important past events. Collaboration with Cincinnati Museum Center is unique in the U.S. and has given Cincinnati a special role in integrating Holocaust lessons into civic discourse.


The Holocaust Gallery at Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center offers an immersive educational experience. It features authentic artifacts, rare photographs, and interactive testimonies from participants of those events. The gallery's design aims to challenge conventional perceptions and inspire visitors through powerful stories of Holocaust victims. It emphasizes human resilience and highlights the importance of active resistance against injustice.
The Humanity Gallery focuses on human behavior, exploring both the dark and noble aspects of humanity. It presents stories of activists who opposed injustice, and encourages visitors to reflect on their own capacity for action. The gallery’s goal is to inspire individuals to make ethical choices and actively contribute to society by fighting injustice.
