Safe Haven Museum & Education Center Information
NameSafe Haven Museum & Education Center
Brief Description The Fort Ontario Emergency Refugee Shelter during WWII
TypeAttraction
CategorySyracuse New York Museum
DescriptionThe Safe Haven Museum & Education Center is dedicated to keeping alive the stories of the 982 refugees from WW II who were allowed into the United States as "guests" of President Franklin Rossevelt.These refugees were housed at the Fort Ontario Emergency Refugee Shelter located in Oswego, New York. It was the only refugee shelter in the United States.
The maelstrom that was World War II created millions of fugitives, fleeing for their lives from the horrors of war. Their journeys took them from many countries across Europe to comparative safety behind allied lines. A continent away, Oswego, New York, on the shores of Lake Ontario, was destined to play a unique part in World War II and in refugee history. Here you will find the Safe Haven story- how a President's decision altered the lives of 982 refugees and the small community that gave them shelter and hope.
