Progress update!

Our authentic Nazi-era railcar is undergoing a careful, months-long restoration with Daedalus Conservation. This dedicated work ensures that, when Holocaust Museum Boston opens, this powerful artifact will stand as a lasting witness to the stories it carries and the lives it represents.

Every surface cleaned. Every detail restored. Each step brings us closer to sharing this remarkable piece of history when our doors open in late 2026.

These photos offer a glimpse into that journey, where history is honored and preserved, one careful step at a time.

Follow along as we continue to restore this artifact and prepare to welcome visitors to a museum dedicated to remembrance, education, and action.
