About

OJMCHE challenges our visitors to resist indifference and discrimination and to envision a just and inclusive world.

Story

The mission of the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education is to interpret the Oregon Jewish experience, explore the lessons of the Holocaust and foster intercultural conversation.

In October 2017 OJMCHE moved into a new permanent home at 724 NW Davis Street on Portland's North Park Blocks. The museum opens to the public in our new location in June 2017.

Beginning July 1, 2014, the Oregon Jewish Museum merged with the Oregon Holocaust Resource Center to become the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education.


The Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education, the Pacific Northwest’s only Jewish museum, was founded to examine and preserve the cultural heritage of one of Oregon’s earliest immigrant groups and to bring innovative traveling exhibitions to the region.

In 1996, the Museum acquired the archives of the Jewish Historical Society of Oregon, comprising major collections of organizational records, family papers, photographs and ephemeral materials dating from 1850 to the present—the largest collection of the documented and visual history of Oregon’s Jews. Today this collection forms the core of the museum archives and is available to researchers, students and scholars.

The Oregon Jewish Museum endeavors to build a dynamic institution that embraces Jewish identity and community, illustrating, by example, the ways in which a community with traditional roots preserves, teaches, and lives by its values as a distinct minority. We believe in the power of culture to build and engage community in a flexible and dynamic way, using the lens of culture to shape dialogue about historical and contemporary issues.
