A foundation created by director Steven Spielberg has given $1m (??504,377) to the National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia.
The money from the Righteous Persons Foundation, founded in 1994, will help create a five-storey museum building in the city.
The new museum is set to open in 2010 on Philadelphia's Independence Mall, BBC reports.
The 100,000 square-foot facility will feature five floors of interactive exhibition space as well as "one of the nation's largest collections of Jewish Americana."
