The Safe Haven Story1 2 3 4
Now, the former residents of America's only refugee camp for war victims feel an urgency to make sure their story is preserved. Manya Breuer, who was the refugee married at Fort Ontario, explains, "I feel like I was left here, in this world, from the Holocaust, for a reason. I feel this energy that was given to me to fully develop my life here in the United States and live in America as a human being as everybody else. And being left from such a horror is to be like a messenger to let the world know what it is like to have faced a world of hate and prejudice and not letting any other human being live."
 The Safe Haven Museum and Education Center, a memorial to suffering and the triumph of the human spirit, was created in the old Administration Building for the refugee shelter at Fort Ontario and dedicated on October 6, 2002. It needs your help to continue its mission to preserve this unique story.
