Permanent Exhibit: 
Finding Light in the Darkness
Through stories and artifacts of Washington State Holocaust survivors, the museum’s exhibit engages visitors in this history and challenges them to consider how each person’s actions make a difference.

Visitors can interact with video testimony from local Holocaust survivors, explore artifacts that bring history to life, and learn about local students who are upstanders in their schools and communities. Spanish translation of the exhibit is available in the museum.

Peter Metzelaar
Holocaust Survivor
Ask a Survivor
 First Sunday of Each Month*

When Peter Metzelaar was 7, the Nazis seized his entire family except for Peter and his mother. With the help of the Dutch Underground, Peter and his mother were sheltered by rescuers in Holland.

After the war, Peter and his mother immigrated to the United States. Although Peter spoke no English when he first arrived in the country, he worked hard in school and went on to have a successful career as a radiology technologist. Today, he continues to be an active member of the Holocaust Center for Humanity's Speakers Bureau.

On the first Sunday of every month, Peter is available in our museum* to answer questions from the public and tell his personal story. This is a rare opportunity to hear the experiences of a Holocaust survivor in person.

*There occasionally arise circumstances where Peter cannot be in the museum as planned. Please call ahead to confirm or check our calendar for updates. 

"I believe very strongly this is the most hopeful place in the city."

- Steve Adler, local Holocaust survivor
