Holocaust Museum Boston

Supporters, civic leaders and Jewish communal partners gathered along the Freedom Trail on Nov. 25 to witness a historic milestone for Holocaust Museum Boston. A 173-foot tower crane lifted a restored early 20th-century railcar — the same type used to transport Jews to Nazi extermination camps — into the museum’s fourth floor as construction continued around it. The 12-ton artifact will become the centerpiece of New England’s only museum dedicated solely to Holocaust education. PHOTO: KENNETH BERMAN PHOTOGRAPHY
