Plain-English Summary

This bill would designate Fort Ontario in New York as a national historical park to preserve the history of the shelter that housed Jewish refugees fleeing the Holocaust during World War II. The park would commemorate the experiences of the approximately 982 refugees who found safety there and educate visitors about this important chapter of American history. The designation would protect the site and likely provide federal funding for its preservation and interpretation.
