STL Holocaust Museum New Exhibition, "Nazis Next Door: St. Louis Faces Nazism in the 1930s"

S For Story/10693606
ST. LOUIS - s4story -- The St. Louis Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum is proud to announce the opening of its newest original exhibition, Nazis Next Door: St. Louis Faces Nazism in the 1930s, a powerful new exploration of how Nazi ideology and antisemitism took root locally, and how members of the St. Louis community chose either to support or resist extremism during one of history's darkest periods.

Opening to the public on June 12, 2026 in the Museum's Karpati Gallery, Nazis Next Door examines the ways Missourians, particularly St. Louisans, made the choice to support or resist Nazi ideas of extremism and antisemitism right here at home. Created by the Museum's exhibitions team using materials from the institution's own Archives and Collections, the exhibition challenges long-held assumptions about St. Louis history by examining how global hate movements manifested close to home. Through local narratives, historical records, and personal stories, the exhibition offers visitors a deeply personal and regionally relevant lens into the rise of Nazism and antisemitism in the United States during one of history's most consequential decades.

"This intriguing and timely story grew from a history that is literally embedded in our fascinating city," says Myron Freedman, Executive Director.  "We invite everyone to travel with us back to 1930s St. Louis for a story that strongly echoes what is happening in today's world."

To celebrate the exhibition's debut, the Museum will host a Members-Only Preview Day on June 11, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Members will receive exclusive early access to the exhibition, along with opportunities to participate in Conversations with the Curators featuring exhibits staff Amy Moorman and Dr. Robb Nelson.

"This exhibition draws heavily from the museum's own archives and collections and was inspired by artifacts we felt provided a unique perspective on the reaction to Nazi ideas in St. Louis and around the region," says Amy Moorman, Director of Archives & Collections. "It's exciting for us to be able to showcase the local narratives we hold within our collections."
