Jewish-American Hall of Fame Plaques Featured in "The Impact of Jewish Intellect" Exhibit at the Virginia Holocaust Museum
This permanent display begs the question: What if…. What if one of the murdered millions had discovered a cure for cancer, HIV/AIDS or Alzheimer’s? Would fossil fuels have become obsolete had an alternative been discovered by one of the Jewish children exterminated by the Nazis? Such questions should come to mind in this striking, new gallery that explores the impact of Jewish intellect on humanity. The Museum, located at 2000 East Cary Street in Richmond, is open Monday – Friday 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM, Saturday 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM, Sunday 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM. There is no admission fee. Call (804) 257-5400 for further information.
