The Safe Haven Holocaust Refugee Shelter Museum is dedicated
to keeping alive the stories of the 982 refugees from
World War II who were allowed into the United States as "guests" of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. These refugees were housed at Fort Ontario in Oswego, New York, from August 1944 until February 1946.
