Special Exhibit

An original exhibition created by the St. Louis Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum, Nazis Next Door explores the ways in which Missourians, particularly St. Louisans, made the choice to support or resist Nazi ideas of extremism and antisemitism right here at home. Through local narratives, historical records, and personal stories, many of which come directly from the Museum’s own Archives and Collections, this exhibition will challenge perceptions of our city’s history.

Join us for a member exclusive preview of Nazis Next Door, and be among the first to see this brand new exhibition!

This day will also feature two opportunities for members to engage in Conversations with the Curators: Our exhibits staff, Amy Moorman and Dr. Robb Nelson, will discuss how the museum’s own collections shaped the exhibit narrative. This is a rare opportunity to explore the hidden stories, challenges, and breakthroughs behind the exhibition. 

This 45-minute self-guided exhibition tells the compelling ventures of Peter Malkin, an artist and Mossad agent who, during a three week mission, helped apprehended Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann in Buenos Aires in 1960. Malkin used pages of a South American travel guide to sketch and paint artistic creations that reflect the chronicles of his endeavors.
