An amazing tour through one of the darkest phases in the history of man. Educational and informative. Every school should be education their children on the darkness and atrocities of the Holocaust. Lest we never forget.

This place is haunting. Seeing all of this is kind of rough, but I think everyone needs to go through there at least once.

The place is amazing. I am not ashamed to say it wrecks me emotionally every time.

Unfortunately I shared the places with some Middle School students. I really wish teachers would explain to them this is a holy memorial to those who lost everything to the kind of bullies that middle school breeds.

I don't blame the museum for that. Nobody can force brats to behave if the parents don't. If your child was there on Monday the 29th of January - scant hours past Holocaust Remembrance day - you may wish to have a conversation about decorum and dignity in public. If you attend, and you see poor behavior - please call people out on it.

This is a holy place, a place of education. I will attend again and again.

Was great but felt like an immersive experience with how claustrophobic it can make you feel. It's very tight and they allow too many people at once but overall is wonderful otherwise. It's just hard because some people move at the speed of snail and others quite swiftly. But worth your trip absolutely if you're going to see other museums.

The museum is an amazing experience. The exhibits are very interactive and change every year.

A must see. Learn how group think of a people or a nation can lead to hate, violence and the genocide of another group. The hate can develop with any group or nation led by diabolical leaders, against any other they identify to hate and choose to eliminate. Even those who have been victims can become the violators.

Very impress, they did a great job.
Also, it's very sad
And I can't believe a lot of people still don't believe that that happened.
How can human beings be so evil?
Got help us

Very interesting. You have to go early since the museum is large and there is a lot to see. The museum and the amount of information are impressive. Super recommend

Plenty of information about the Holocaust.
At the same time, it is very sad to see how much suffering the Jewish people went through. Free.

It's a great place to learn about one of the darkest chapters in human history. The museum is very well placed and the exhibition is quite complete. At the beginning of the tour they gave us an individual card that tells the story of one of the Jews who lived through the Holocaust. I was able to see the Holocaust museum in Berlin and it seemed to me that it equaled the level of the German one. It is not a place for everyone, there are very raw stories.

It is recommended not to miss passing. You must obtain prior entry or you can purchase entry/entry at the location. It has several floors.

One of the most interesting and touching museums I've ever visited, and it was totally free! Definitely, worth the visit and the time. It's something that you will remember forever.

Very much a learning experience and one I would recommend. The museum can get a bit crowded in the first rooms, but after you get further in, the crowds thin out

An incredible exhibition. We have already visited many museums & memorials on the subject of World War II/Holocaust in Europe, but no exhibition has such a large film & video selection as this museum! It is very impressive and frightening at the same time to see this dark hour in extremely good quality and in color and to follow the recordings. Absolutely worth seeing!
The only thing that's a bit of a shame is that we had the feeling that not all of the exhibits were translated into English in detail and sufficiently. There are many German documents and diagrams that are only briefly reproduced in English.
