   “Nazi’s Next Door: St. Louis Faces Nazism in the 1930s” Exhibit – through January 31, 2027 St. Louis Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum’s Karpati Gallery

An original exhibition created by the St. Louis Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum, Nazis Next Door explores the ways in which Missourians, particularly St. Louisans, made the choice to support or resist Nazi ideas of extremism and antisemitism right here at home. Through local narratives, historical records, and personal stories, many of which come directly from the Museum’s own Archives and Collections, this exhibition will challenge perceptions of our city’s history.
