In 2018, the place of worship was the site of the most fatal antisemitic attack in the nation. The Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh, currently located at Chatham University, will be housed in the new Tree of Life building, which does not yet have an opening date. The space will provide a central location for worship, healing and education. (Photo by Stephanie Strasburg/PublicSource)
