The Dallas Holocaust Museum/Center for Education and Tolerance is committed to maintaining the legacy of the Holocaust, as well as fostering a moral and ethical response to discrimination, animosity, and apathy for the benefit of humanity as a whole. Situated in the Historic West End of Dallas, the Museum attracts over 65,500 visitors each year, including 31,000 school students. It has gained recognition for its innovative and impactful programming, renowned exhibits, and distinguished speakers. North Texas is home to approximately 125 individuals who are survivors, refugees, or hidden children from the Holocaust.
CURRENT EXHIBIT: MARGRET AND H. A. REY’S ESCAPE
The exhibit featuring The War Time Escape of Margret and H. A. Rey’s Journey from France is currently on display. This husband-and-wife duo is famed for creating the beloved Curious George children’s book series. Their escape from Nazi-occupied France was fraught with danger and suspense, and throughout their odyssey, they managed to keep the manuscript for the mischievous character we recognize today as Curious George.
GROUP AND SCHOOL TOURS
Groups of over 30, particularly those with attendees in seventh grade or higher, can request survivor speakers.
