Spielberg donates $1M to Jewish museum

PHILADELPHIA (UPI) -- Filmmaker Steven Spielberg's Righteous Persons Foundation reportedly has given $1 million to the National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia.

Spielberg's films include "Schindler's List," "Amistad," "Saving Private Ryan," "ET: The Extra-Terrestrial" and the four "Indiana Jones" movies.

The Jewish Telegraphic Agency reported his foundation's donation will go to the museum's $150 million capital campaign.

To be located between the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, the museum's new five-floor building is expected to feature a large collection of Jewish Americana, the agency said.

The new building is to open in 2010, the museum's Web site said.
