The Emigration Museum Hamburg (BallinStadt) is a former halfway house/temporary shelter in the Port of Hamburg, where millions of European emigrants stayed before making their journey to the Americas. The buildings were destroyed by the Nazis in 1934, but were later rebuilt true to their original form in the early 2000s. Today it serves as a permanent museum exhibition memorializing the millions who passed through on the way to the New World.
The Jewish Museum is a historic pre-war Jewish neighborhood that is both a contemporary gathering place and a living memorial to its people. It contains the best preserved complex of historical Jewish monuments in Europe, including a number of synagogues, the Jewish Ceremonial Hall and the Old Jewish Cemetery.
This museum of Jewish heritage consists of six Jewish monuments clustered together in Josefov. Its collection of Judaica is one of the largest in the world - about 40,000 objects, 100,000 books, and a copious archive of Czech and Moravian Jewish community histories. This museum in Prague is one of the most visited museums in all of the Czech Republic.
