"They have managed to humanise the inhumane. Very much worth a visit to learn that period of history. It'll take you a couple of hours to get through if you're like me and want to read all the story boards."
"Well organized exhibit with lots of good information. Took about two hours to go through the main exhibit. Could have used a little extra time, but were on a time constraint. Also really enjoyed the current special exhibit."
"Excellent place to visit. There is a $15 entrance fee. Displays were mostly pictures with some Jewish artifacts. They have a tour which we missed because we found a Genealogy office. There, we met a genealogist, Joy, who was fantastic. She spent a hour and half with us and was able to locate some family records via censuses, marriage licenses, and other documents. Information which we had been hunting for. Well worth the visit. After walking thru the museum; we went up to the Russian restaurant. They were very nice and offered us samples of some of their dishes. We ended up with both hot and cold borshe. Pricey but good. Very informative."
"It's an amazing place to see, but not for the faint of heart!! It is a true life depiction of life as a Jew and details the true stories, the personal items, their clothing, concentration camp uniforms, and lives of Jews before, during, and after the Holocaust!! I think every human on earth should visit, spend a day seeing the Hell, Hitler created for the Jews!! Around every corner is another account experienced by another human being. Every section has videos, some interactive holographic characters telling short stories of daily life!!"
"A must see museum. Plus, amazingly great Jewish themed theatre as eell"
