Holocaust Museum Houston presents "Ilan Ramon: A Life and Legacy," which features the incredible story of Ramon, a man whose life journey embodies courage, resilience, and the pursuit of dreams. The exhibition honors his legacy, from his family’s experience in Auschwitz to his soaring achievements in the Israeli Air Force and NASA.

"Ilan Ramon: A Life and Legacy" unfolds in four compelling sections: his early life and family history; his rigorous training with the Israeli Air Force and NASA; his historic space mission aboard the Columbia Space Shuttle; and the enduring legacy of The Ramon Foundation, dedicated to inspiring future generations in space and aviation.

A highlight of the exhibition is a restored page from his space diary which miraculously survived the fatal mission of the Columbia as well as training artifacts from his career, reproductions of the Holocaust memorial items he took to space and photos and videos which chronicle his inspirational life. Visitors can discover how The Ramon Foundation honors his legacy by inspiring young minds through the worlds of science and air and space exploration.

The exhibition will remain on display through August 3.
