- The St. Louis Holocaust Museum & Learning Center will triple in size with an $18 million expansion as officials seek to reach even deeper into issues of bias, bigotry and hate. Details about the expansion were announced Monday, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. Museum officials are in touch with about 30 Holocaust survivors who live in the St. Louis area. Don Hannon, chief operating officer of the Jewish Federation, said he and other officials often hear from people who didn’t know St. Louis had a Holocaust museum. Museum officials have raised about $14 million and also received a $750,000 National Endowment for the Humanities challenge grant, one of the largest ever awarded in Missouri.
