The Ghetto Fighters' House is the world’s first museum commemorating the Holocaust and Jewish heroism. It represents the highest expression of its founders’ commitment to Holocaust education in Israel and the world. The museum tells the story of the Jewish people in the 20th century, and particularly during World War II and the Holocaust. At the center of the narrative is the individual, and the many expressions of Jewish resistance in ghettos, concentration camps, and partisan combat.
"Friends of GFH" associations are active in Israel, France, Austria, and the United States.
