It seems wrong to give 5 stars to a museum that focuses on such a tragedy. With that said, the museum is amazing. The depth and feelings that you'll experience are unbelievable. As a child of a Holocaust survivor, it is life changing. I lived it daily, but the scope and intensity of all those affected is heart-wrenching. It is an absolute must-see if you're able to go.

Every breathing American should experience this museum. It’s haunting, disturbing, and straight-forward. What’s even more sad, is that the story that leads to the Holocaust parallels the same rhetoric a certain current cult leader uses to control his blinded followers. It’s a quiet, solemn place. The only noise was from the occasional middle school field trip that plowed through. Take your time though and be warned before you watch any video screen hiding behind a wall.

A very interesting experience.We took our children here as they have been looking at WW2 in school recently so while on holiday here we figured it would be a missed opportunity not to visit.We all found the museum interesting, humbling and thought provoking and our children found it very beneficial.The one down side was how busy it was. The building was hard to navigate with people stopping at narrow points to read the articles but I would still definitely recommend a visit if you find yourself in the area.

This is a hard thing to review. They did a beautiful job providing information to people and helping to paint a picture of what happened. It helps to paint a picture of individuals as well as everyone involved. I learned a lot of stuff I didn’t know. We spent 2 hours there and we didn’t read everything. We definitely need to make another trip to better learn about it. As we were finishing we saw they had someone in the lobby area who was a Holocaust survivor and it was humbling to listen to her story and hear her answer people’s questions. I am not sure if they have someone all the time or if we got lucky but would definitely recommend listening to them and asking questions.

Everyone should visit this place at least once in their life. You will leave a different person. It's our history that is never talked about and no one teaches. The learning is so impactful that you will walk around with chills the entire time and people are weeping throughout the place at what you learn. A MUST, once in a lifetime experience that changes your life.

You have to go if you’re visiting Washington DC, it’s absolutely stunning, the images, the stories, the videos. As soon as you get in, you get an id card representing a specific person who lived during the holocaust. The museum gets you immersed in the history. It’s a 2-4 hours visit , $2 ticket , totally worth the visit. It will change your perspective about life , showing you how lucky we are today.

This memorial left me speechless. Honestly, I didn't expect it to hit me so hard. The horror those victims went through is beyond imagination. Learning about it in class is one thing, but seeing artifacts and hearing individual stories really hits home.I found myself tearing up as I walked through. It's awful what humans did to each other, and it's crucial to remember. These victims deserve all the honor we can give.Visit the museum – it's well-organized and provides a deep understanding of this dark period in history.

Wow. What an incredible museum. Harrowing, sobering, instructive. It was even more valuable because it was the first time my teen learned the magnitude of the Holocaust. Walking in, you are greeted with a huge display of the 36 army divisions that helped liberate the concentration camps. The actual footage from liberation are startling. I'm grateful they had a few screens covered. 3 or more hours are best. I was only disappointed that the shoes were off display. We will just have to come back.

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