Welcome to the museum of the World War 2 Axis World Leaders Museum. I started this museum when I was a young man in college. The Holocaust fascinated me in all of it’s horror. I wanted to make this museum to remember the 6 million Jews and remember the people who were responsible for all these deaths and show what they did.

Back Wall Artifact
The swastika is known today for hatred and racism. But most people don’t know that it was used 5,000 years before the Nazis came to power. The swastika traditionally translates to “good fortune” or “well-being”. But after World War I, many nationalist groups in Europe adopted the swastika with the meaning of racially pure. The swastika was the most commonly used symbol in Nazi propaganda. Towards the end of Nazi reign, the swastika began to strike fear in Jews and other racial enemies of the Nazis.
