United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
Stops in NYC March 3rd One Day Only
To Celebrate its 20th Anniversary
Hilton NYC
Free Event
Over the years a big topic in our house has been WWII. My dad is a WWII veteran and has a million stories about it. He is now 87 and still proud of the time he spent in the US Army that he joined at 17 years old along with his brother. Honestly, I cannot wait for this exhibit to hit NYC and to be able to share the day there with my entire family. It will be quite an honor to see my father and my children sharing the memories of days gone by and the importance they still hold at the present time.
You can also take advantage of this wonderful experience as The US Holocaust Memorial Museum stops in NYC for one day only on its 20th Anniversary Tour. The exhibit is free but you will need to reserve tickets. You can reserve your free tickets right here.
The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum is conducting a tour for its 20th Anniversary, and the NYC stop will be on March 3 from 9am-5pm at the Hilton New York.The event aims to introduce New Yorkers to the Museum’s work, and inspire people to take action against indifference today.
There are engaging and instructive activities throughout the day (full schedule available online), but highlights for children include:
- Building Blocks of Hope: A hands-on art project for children (ages six and above) that will travel to DC for the Museum’s 20th anniversary event in April 2013.
