Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education

This is a wonderful little museum that focuses not only on the Holocaust but particularly on local Jewish history. There's a downstairs gallery for temporary exhibits. Also downstairs are a coffee shop (closed in summer) and a gift shop containing lots of good books... and RBG memorabilia.

Great museum depicting the tragic history of the Holocaus. We spent most of our time exploring their exhibit on Vedem, a newspaper created by teenagers while at the Terezin camp. We would highly recommend a visit!

Very well thought out exhibits. Focused primarily on the Oregon Jewish experience, and well rounded with respect to modern Jewish history.

This museum is expanding its offerings. The permanent exhibit gives a very poignant view of the history of Nazi effect on Jews and on the history if a Jewish community in Portland. But they also bring in interesting art exhibits, e.g., right now they have 3 early Rothko paintings among other works. And historic film events. The museum is small, so exhibits are too. And they have added a small cafe.
