Dallas Holocaust & Human Rights Museum Opens New Permanent Home

The Dallas Holocaust & Human Rights Museum has relocated to a cutting‑edge 55,000‑sq‑ft facility in downtown Dallas, reinforcing its commitment to educating the public about prejudice, hatred, and indifference worldwide.

After 15 years in a temporary venue, the new space blends solemn artifacts from concentration camps and video testimonies of Dallas-area Holocaust survivors with state‑of‑the‑art interactive technology designed to engage visitors of all ages.

The museum now expands its scope beyond the Holocaust to examine all human rights, other genocides, and America’s civil‑rights history, honoring upstanders—individuals who risked everything to defend the oppressed.

Highlights include the Dimensions in Testimony Theater, featuring holographic representations of survivors such as Max Glauben. Visitors can interact with the hologram, asking questions about his life before, during, and after World War II. The American Ideals, Reality & Repair gallery traces the evolution of civil and human rights in the United States while celebrating national and Texas upstanders who foster understanding and repair. Additional amenities comprise a 250‑seat theater, two classrooms, a climate‑controlled library and archives, and a Memorial & Reflection Room for contemplation.

    No Mardi Gras parade this year? No problem, cher. Dallas has a vibrant Cajun scene that keeps the Louisiana spirit alive. As a Louisiana native, I judge authenticity by four staples: po‑boys, gumbo, daiquiris, and bread pudding. (You might have expected beignets, but we’ll prove there’s more to Cajun flavor.)
