This traveling exhibit is full of reality pictures and stories. While I knew quite a bit about this horrific place, the actual relics made the same information so, so poignant and painful to see. Go and feel and stand witness. Never forget.
Very moving and emotional exhibit. We all enjoyed the history. Something everyone should see.
The exhibit was well-laid out. I enjoyed the audio device to listen to throughout the exhibit and thought it was a good balance against the reading. I learned so much!
An excellent exhibition. Everyone needs to see it. Profound and emotional. Well worth the cost.
The exhibition was nice. More reading and listening than actual artifacts. I think they should have let people in in smaller groups. It was hard to see everything because people tended to be clumped in certain areas. Overall worth seeing, but could have had more artifacts.
This is an important historical atrocity every human should understand and know about. This particular exhibit was good but not great. I did not feel the flow of information was very good, it felt a little disjointed, and we were unable to finish the exhibit because we were reading and listening to everything and they closed and made us leave. ( we were there two hours and very close to the end, I would have liked the opportunity to spend the additional 10 minutes we needed to finish the entire exhibit). Despite this I do think it is worthwhile for the knowledge and the fact that we can never ignore history and we can never forget the Holocaust happened.
This exhibit really brings history to life and tells an amazing story of one of the worst stories in human history. The artifacts are very powerful and in some cases heartbreaking. The audio guides allow you to tour the exhibit at your own pace and allow you to listen multiple times if you wish. A haunting and powerful presentation with an important message as history repeats itself again unfortunately.
Unbelievable amount of information and artifacts. It's hard to believe that human life could be looked at in such a way. No one was rushed - we spent half a day there. The audio players were very useful. Most of the survivors are gone, making exhibits like this very important. Down side - only one set of restrooms at the end of the exhibit. Very limited seating. No food / drink. Not even a water fountain.
Excellent exhibit should really notify people in advance how much standing and walking there is
The exhibit was an amazing amount of info. I cannot imagine going when crowded because you needed to get up close to read the small print under low light. Very moving nonetheless, especially the videos.
