Museum of Jewish Heritage

		The pyramidal Museum of Jewish Heritage, on the waterfront in Battery Park, is a poignant memorial to Holocaust victims and celebrates Jewish culture. New York and Jewish history began intertwining as early as 1654, when 23 Portuguese Sephardic Jews were granted asylum in the then-Dutch colony. Today New York has the largest Jewish population of any city in the world.
