AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would create the Fort Ontario Holocaust Refugee Shelter National Historical Park in New York as part of the National Park System, once the Secretary of the Interior decides enough land has been acquired. The park would preserve and tell the stories of 982 World War II refugees housed at Fort Ontario from 1944 to 1946. The Secretary could acquire land by donation, purchase, or exchange, but state or local government land could only be donated, and a management plan would be due within 3 fiscal years of funding. The bill would also designate America's National Churchill Museum at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, as a National Historic Landmark. It would require a study of whether the museum should become a unit of the National Park System.
