About Holocaust Museum Houston
In 1983, longtime Houston resident Siegi Izakson returned home from an international gathering of Holocaust survivors held in Israel. He had realized something while there: both he and his peers were getting older, and he feared their stories would be lost. A local Holocaust education center was needed. He gathered others to his cause, and upon seeing the Holocaust Museum Houston open in 1996, he proclaimed, "this means the Holocaust story will not go away."

- Rare Artifact: a Danish rescue boat, the same type that was used to transport 7,200 Jews from Nazi Germany
