It's free. Need to get a ticket on line for a time slot.

Not crowded.

I thought it was very good. Obviously some pretty graphic films / photos, but most were behind walls with a Warning Sign.

Highly recommend.

Still amazed a whole nation could buy into mass genocide.

I think the reaction to COVID shows that we could easily give in to genocide.

The museum is okay, I was not that moved or impressed by it. I think it was because I'm a history buff, and I already knew it was horrible, had seen the photos and films, etc. It sort of felt like they were beating me over the head to tell me how horrible it was.

Perhaps folks with less knowledge of WWII need the head beating

The shoe room really got to me.

Oh brother… /eyeroll

It's a fantastic museum and does exactly a good museum is supposed to do. It's not for scholars, it's for people.

I've met Holocaust survivors in that museum (as well as in Germany when i lived there). I also have some Jewish family members, and they think it tells the story of the Holocaust as well as it can be told, in that setting.

Some really odd responses in this thread....

"Nothing in there that came as a surprise"
"It felt like they were beating me over the head to tell me how horrible it was."

Thats like saying the African American History Museum is "really laying it on thick with all the black stuff..."
