The 112,000-square-foot Museum on the waterfront at 36 Battery Place in Manhattan's Battery Park City, with its six-sided shape and tiered roof symbolic of the six points of the Star of David and the six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust, is a poignant memorial to Holocaust victims and celebrates Jewish culture.

The four-story expansion wing contains a theater, gallery space, classrooms, offices, resource center and library, family history center, memorial garden, cafe, and special events hall.
