We envision a global society where the universal principles of equality, fairness, and justice prevail.
For over twenty years, we have honored and promoted the legacy of Robert H. Jackson, U.S. Solicitor General, U.S. Attorney General, U.S. Supreme Court Justice, and Chief U.S. Prosecutor of the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg.
The Jackson Center advances the legacy of Justice Robert H. Jackson through education, using a variety of methods including in-person and virtual programs and presentations, exhibits, available media, and scholarship. We demonstrate the contemporary relevance and applicability of Justice Jackson’s ideas and work to current and future generations.
As our nation approaches its 250th anniversary in 2026, the Robert H. Jackson Center is proud to participate in “On Our 250th” — a nationwide initiative celebrating our collective heritage and inspiring dialogue about our shared future.
The New York Historical and Made By Us, initiated this dynamic project, which invites Americans of all ages and backgrounds to share brief messages conveying their hopes and dreams for our nation on this momentous anniversary.
More than 25 leading museums and historic sites across the country have joined this initiative, ensuring voices from every corner of America will be heard and celebrated. From the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History to Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, this collaboration represents a united effort to reflect on our past while envisioning our future.
Bear witness to the world of Anne Frank and other young people living through the Holocaust, from the point of view of Anne Frank’s “best friend.”
Sarah is a historically accurate composite character, based on the testimonies of those who knew Anne Frank, as well as other victims, resisters and survivors of the Holocaust and World War II.
Like Anne Frank, Sarah is a young Jewish girl in Amsterdam when Hitler comes to power in the 1930s, whose experiences under Nazi rule, in hiding and through the concentration camps parallel Anne’s story.
Through the Eyes of a Friend remains faithful to Anne Frank’s life and her world.
Please note performances on 5/14 are near capacity; call ahead with expected attendance to confirm availability before scheduling transportation.

This is the true story of Kurt and Edith Leuchter, as told by their daughter Deborah Stueber, with poignant and surprisingly amusing recollections from Edith and Kurt surviving the Holocaust, fighting Nazis in the French Resistance, and making a new life in America.
Debbie Leuchter Stueber is a part of Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh’s Generations Speakers Series and has spoken at schools, universities, libraries, and other various organizations sharing her parents’ Holocaust experience. Now 96 and 97 years old, sharing their story has become her passion for the last several years. She feels strongly that it’s the responsibility of her generation and generations to come to carry on the survivors’ legacy.

Raymond D’Addario was one of a few photographers assigned by the Army Pictorial Service to document the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg, Germany. On November 21, 1945, senior Nazi officials took their seats in Courtroom 600 in the Palace of Justice. Ray’s photograph of the main defendants sitting in the docket surrounded by U.S. military guards has become the iconic symbol of the trial.
