"Auschwitz"is a profoundly moving and thought-provoking exhibit that serves as a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable adversity. By honoring the memories of those who perished and celebrating the stories of those who survived, it challenges us to confront the darkest chapters of our past and strive for a more compassionate and inclusive future.
More than an exhibit, it’s an unforgettable experience that teaches lessons applicable to all, especially young people . I hope teachers take notice and bring their students.
I went to this exhibit last weekend and my mind was blown. This was amazing and I will absolutely be going again while it is here in Boston!
What a moving and educational look at the Holocaust. The exhibit was vast and informative with so much to take in.
Really well done. Everyone should go see this. The artifacts, photos, stories, etc. So detailed.
Some people may assume this regarding how sad the event was, however having ancestry and personal intrigues brought my husband and I to the exhibit. We thought it would be a good thing to do with our one and half year old on a rainy day. We were very mistaken by the dead silence in the rooms and strollers being prohibited. Of course a one year old is not completely silent and were told by some attendees to shhh. Best to skip this exhibition if you have your children.
Very emotional, however, I was prepared, but it certainly was more than I expected. I hope to see it again soon.
Exhibit was very informative, poignant and factual. Except for one blonde bimbo was was chatting with a friend and laughing, people were appropriately quiet and respectful. I would suggest not bringing small children. Plan on at least 2 - 3 hours to see the exhibit thoroughly. Ticketmaster should be respectful of the age of the people likely to attend an exhibit and offer more help than was available.
Since I was a little girl, I've been fascinated and curious about the details of the Holocaust. I just couldn't understand why some people hated the Jewish community so much. I still don't understand. I just know that my heart aches for those who have died and for those today still dealing with this hatred. Visiting this display was even more eye-opening than I could have imagined. I purchased the book at the end so I could spend more time reading and learning about it.
