Fort Ontario Holocaust Refugee Shelter National Historical Park Establishment Act
S 432 establishes the Fort Ontario Holocaust Refugee Shelter National Historical Park in New York to preserve and interpret the site where 982 Holocaust refugees were housed from 1944 to 1946. The bill requires the Secretary of the Interior to acquire sufficient land (only via donation for state-owned property) and issue a Federal Register notice before establishing the park. It mandates a management plan within three years and allows cooperative agreements for interpretive services and public access to historic resources. The park unit will focus on protecting the physical site and its historical significance for public education.
