I eagerly anticipated my recent visit to the USHMM looking forward to learning more about the event through displays and memoribilia. Unfortunately, my expectations were a lot higher than the museum provided. Most of the displays along the tour consisted of familiar, rehashed photos (found in most any related book), greatly enlarged for dramatic ...

It is a sad museum since it showcases one of the worse crimes in humanity but it is an execellent learning experience. It learned so much while I was in there. When you go in you get a to pick a liitle pasaport of a victim and which you can read about their lives before the holocaust. If you want to go I suggest you get the tickets at the museum website ahead of time because they are only a number of tickets given each day for the exihibition.

Was there is September 2007. Taking a trip to the DC area this Spring and will plan to take more time at the Holocaust Museum.

It is for all of us to see and to understand that treating humans with kindness and respect has no religion nor ethnicity. Surprised what opened up for me after my visit! Highly recommend for all.

I have read in history books about the Holocaust but after going to the museum my life has been changed forever. Never in my life time is my new slogan. I saw things in this museum that shocked me. I would advise this museum to everyone take your children (10 and up) they need to know about this awe time in our worlds history so they will know when to stand up and say Not in my on my watch

My second time here, first as an adult. It is an amazing journey. I can not see how some people believe this did not happen!

Very informative. The room of shoes that belonged to the imprisoned tore

We have to take our children and even ourselves to places like this and learn and remember so that these things dont happen in the future. The Holocaust survivors are now elderly and very soon will no longer be with us anymore. So we as a new generation have to tell their stories. This place does just that and we were blessed to even meet a ...

I find it more than a little scary that more and more students don't know much about the Holocaust. I recommend this museum if you have children (old enough to understand and walk through for at least an hour possibly much more). I took my friend to this who had never been and she told me that it changed her. It personalizes the Holocaust in a ...

This place is so interesting! I really liked this place. I have always been fansinated with the Holocaust and going here taught me a lot about it. I can't wait to go back to it because this place is so well manufactured that you actually learn from this museum. I think that everyone should learn about the Holocaust then take a trip to this ...
