Upcoming Events

Before the rise of the Nazis, Berlin’s Eldorado Club thrived as a vibrant center of LGBTQ+ culture and nightlife. Join the Museum to explore how the Eldorado symbolized both the freedom and fragility of queer life in Weimar Germany, and how its closure marked the beginning of Nazi persecution of LGBTQ+ people. Through history and testimony, we will examine the dangers of intolerance and the importance of remembering marginalized victims of the Holocaust.

This program will be presented by Helen Turner, the Director of Education, and will feature a 30 minute talk followed by Q&A.

Join the Museum for a luncheon to close out our special exhibition, Stitching History from the Holocaust with special guest speaker, Lori Coulter, CEO of the Summersalt, the St. Louis-based lifestyle brand recognized nationally for redefining fashion with data-driven design and inclusive fit.

To celebrate the Museum’s third birthday, join us for a unique opportunity to get up close and personal with artifacts from our Collection. Several items not usually on display will be available for visitors to engage with, a first-hand experience to learn what goes into preserving and documenting our artifacts. This is your chance to get your “hands on history.”

This event is included with purchase of an exhibit ticket (pay-as-you-wish weekend).

Join the Museum for a Survivor Hour with second generation Holocaust descendent, Julie Kohner. Julie recounts the story of her parents survival during the Holocaust and utilizes rare footage of her parents that was broadcast as an episode of This Is Your Life in 1953, one of the first times a Holocaust survivor appeared on television. Her book, “Hanna and Walter, A Love Story” will be available for purchase and signing after the program.
