- "When the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum opened, many German critics were appalled by its blunt, rigorous recounting of the details of Nazi genocide. The only way modern, democratic Germany could salvage its reputation in the United States, many Germans in government and the private sector believed, was to counter the Holocaust museum with one of their own. That museum opens this weekend in a gorgeously restored Victorian row house on Sixth Street NW.
In a space that until a few years ago served as a boarding house for Asian and Latino immigrants, the German-American Heritage Museum tells the story of America's largest immigrant group, from the German pastor who accompanied English settlers at Jamestown in 1607 to the refugees from Hitler's tyranny in the mid-20th century."
