Berks Military History Museum recently held an open house at its Holocaust Gallery. During the event, museum founder Mark M. Gillen, who also serves as a state representative, and architect Lee Olson shared renderings of the planned Berks Holocaust Museum, which will be built next to and will connect with the existing museum.
Planners expect that ground will be broken for the new building later this year.
