I went here in high school and still remember it. There are real life artifacts, like uniforms and even a boxcar used to transport people to the camps.There is a monument before you get into the museum part which Miep Gies (one of Anne Frank's helpers) visited in the 1990s. That alone provides enough historical-importance-impetus to make one want to... More

My husband & I were fortunate enought to sit in with a high school group & listen to the founder Mike Jacobs tell his story of being a Holocaust survivor. He took a picture with us & autographed our book. What an honor to meet him. Our one complaint is they only acknowledge active duty military for discounts and not... More

Very well done. Somewhat interactive and easily understandable by younger people. Went with a school one time and got to listen to a survivor. Excellent experience. More

Brilliant, simple exhibits that were easy enough for non-experts to understand but still thorough. More

I visited along with my family and we all enjoyed it and cried. We are given a device so that we can just punch in the photo number and it describes it. The museum is based on one day in the Holocaust. We truly were moved by the experience. We did meet a survivior and had first hand information. There... More

but not great. Small venue, which looks at the events of the Holocaust through one day. Having been to some of the camps in Poland as well as the US National Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C., this museum while respective and well put together doesn't really examine the events in enough detail. About a half hour is sufficient to visit. More

I've visited many Holocaust Museums and, in size, this is the smallest. Though small, it definitely accomplishes it's goal of educating the public about this horrific event. Each visitor is given a self-guided hearing unit which covers the holocaust in great detail. Though small in physical size, with the aid of the self-guide electronic device, this is must see. We...

If you quickly walk through the Holocaust Museum you will be finished in 10 minutes but the audio tour goes on for over an hour. The audio tour tells about each picture in such detail that it is hard not to feel sad for the atrocities the Nazis put people they deemed unfit through. I come from a generation far... More
