The original LAMH was housed in a room at the Jewish Federation building. Since then, it moved several times. In 2004, efforts began in earnest to raise the funds necessary to construct a brand new, permanent home for the Museum in Pan Pacific Park adjacent to an existing Holocaust Monument. Now, after almost 50 years of successful free education programming, the Museum has a new permanent home which presents us with the opportunity to expand that programming along with enhanced cultural events and exhibits. The second largest city in the United States can now boast of a fitting and permanent home for serious understanding of the Holocaust and its implications for this city in the 21st century. In the Museum’s temporary rented office space, LAMH served about 14,000 visitors annually. It is projected that 40,000 people will visit the new museum this year; at least half of whom will be students.
