WHAT’S NEW AT THE HOLOCAUST LEGACY FOUNDATION
HOLOCAUST MUSEUM BOSTON
Opening Late 2026
In the heart of Boston, a new space is rising that honors the resilience of the human spirit and reflects on the profound lessons of the past. Immersive exhibits and personal testimonies illuminate stories of survival, resistance, and humanity during one of history’s darkest times. Designed to encourage reflection and self-awareness, the Foundation’s signature project, the Holocaust Museum Boston, fosters critical thinking, empathy, and action.
The Holocaust Museum Boston will explore the past to understand and address the present. By preserving the legacy of the Holocaust, we inspire individuals to practice compassion, champion human rights, and act for justice.
We believe that preserving history is essential to protecting our future and fostering a more empathetic and just world.

The visionaries behind Holocaust legacy foundation
Todd Ruderman & Jody Kipnis
Jody Kipnis and Todd Ruderman co-founded the Holocaust Legacy Foundation and Holocaust Museum Boston with a shared commitment to honoring the memory and lessons of the Holocaust while inspiring future generations to combat antisemitism, promote human rights, and foster a more just and inclusive society. Their journey into Holocaust education began with a life-changing trip to Eastern Europe in 2018, where they each made a personal pledge to a Holocaust survivor on the grounds of Auschwitz to ensure that the lessons of history endure.
Together, Kipnis and Ruderman are leading the effort to establish a world-class Holocaust museum and educational center in Boston, believing that ongoing Holocaust education is essential in the fight against antisemitism and bigotry. They firmly believe that the museum will serve as a catalyst for social change, fostering a more inclusive, understanding, and compassionate society for generations to come. Their shared vision—rooted in experience, education, and a commitment to making a difference—drives their work to preserve history, inspire action, and empower future generations.
