    Excellent Exhibit!

    by Sha on 5/7/24The Castle at Park Plaza - Boston

    Of course it doesn't seem appropriate to say 'It was Great!' since it's a horrific time in history and shouldn't have ever happened. That being said - it was an informative, respectful presentation of these horrific events and I'm glad I was able to learn more details. One sign of a well-done exhibit is what you take away from it. I've reflected on many aspects, but have one certain quote from a survivor in my head that really hits hard. I am grateful to all who organized this. I was pleased to see so many people attending and concentrating intensely at the information presented. Thank you.

    Educational

    by Dave on 5/6/24The Castle at Park Plaza - Boston

    Overall, the exhibit was very nice, very well done. I thought I would be "moved"more than I was; it did not impact me in an emotional way. I supposed it was to be more educational. I found the listening device frustrating both mine and my wife's were a little dirty feeling AND at a few parts it was difficult to get them to work and we skipped several parts out of that frustration.

    Learning from the past

    by Manny on 5/6/24The Castle at Park Plaza - Boston

    Its sad to actually see real life artifacts of how they suffered and how it all became.

    Emotional

    by Lisa on 5/5/24The Castle at Park Plaza - Boston

    I was surprised how emotional I was to this exhibit. I have read about and watched documentaries about Auschwitz but actually seeing those tiny shoes and socks and belongings made it so unbelievable horrific that I will never ever let hate enter my mind or soul.

    Powerful Reminder of Evil

    by Lëna on 5/5/24The Castle at Park Plaza - Boston

    This is a powerful reminder of the evil that man can perpetrate on others. The exhibits bring life to a history that must not be allowed to happen again. The exhibit of a child's single shoe with a sock neatly tucked into it brought a shiver to spine. Women and children quietly sitting or standing about waiting to go to the gas chamber gave pause . I am thinking of revisiting this once- in-a lifetime exhibit as there was so much to take in. Highly recommended to all!

    An exceptionally memorable and moving experience.

    by Diana on 5/4/24The Castle at Park Plaza - Boston

    I shall always remember my visit to the Auschwitz Exhibition in Boston. The exhibit is very well displayed, so as to portray the evolution of the Jewish people and their deadly and horrific persecution by Adolph Hitler and the Nazis. The Exhibition's use of phones, videos, audio clips, maps, photographs, letters, etc., is excellent in telling the stories of the Holocaust victims. Although historians have provided explanations of Hitler's rise to power, it seems beyond explanation that there ever existed on this earth such "Man's inhumanity to man."

    Timely and important

    by Jenn on 5/4/24The Castle at Park Plaza - Boston

    My husband and I were very moved to see artifacts that could've belonged to his family who were murdered in Auschwitz. I was also glad to see students in attendance.

    Excellent

    by N Kelly on 5/4/24The Castle at Park Plaza - Boston

    This experience was amazing. Though heart wrenching that this even happened in our history, it is important that we know all about it in order to not repeat it. This exhibit was so informative and respectful. Glad I got to experience it.

    Sobering but good

    by Knuckles on 5/2/24The Castle at Park Plaza - Boston

    Great info on the awful part of Earths history. So sad it wasn’t stopped earlier. The exhibit was long with some duplicate info, same horrible story, different location or people. Good to educate the young people since it is skimmed over in schools. Yes, they need to know even if it scares them. Everyone needs to be aware of these events. Maybe it will help it not to happen again.

    Never again!

    by Deb on 5/2/24The Castle at Park Plaza - Boston

    This exhibit was extremely moving and thought provoking. I hope it reminds people to never let an awful persecution like this happen again. We hopefully learn from our mistakes. If you take the time to read the descriptions as well as listening to the audio recordings, it can take a few hours. I personally learned much more about the lengthy history of Auschwitz and the Holocaust.

    The right tone

    by The Goose on 5/1/24The Castle at Park Plaza - Boston

    A very comprehensive exhibit with geopolitical history leading up to and personal accounts of actual events of the holocaust. The tone inside was somber and respectful. Multiple video clip vignettes and audio guided tour add to the experience. Very moving.

    Simple yet powerful

    by Karen on 5/1/24The Castle at Park Plaza - Boston

    You walk through a maze of artifacts listening to recordings that highlight what is in front of you. You can also read along to allow the horror really sink in. Well done and with a visit.

    Sobering yet Excellent

    This was an extremely powerful experience. Moving. Timely. We already shared with friends to go. Just a little crowded. However, great visuals and videos. Worth the experience!

    Not Long Ago

    by Mlamb17386 on 4/30/24The Castle at Park Plaza - Boston

    The event was very moving. I realized more people were affected than I originally realized. The event was very crowded. I think if more control over the amount of people allowed in at one would have made viewing the items a little easier.

    Excellent

    by DJ on 4/30/24The Castle at Park Plaza - Boston

    Very good exhibition. I especially liked the video interviews with survivors. It brought a face & a voice to things we have we thought we knew. There was a lot to read and really like the enlarged quotes on the walls. We spent 3 hours learning and reflecting. Everyone should try to see this exhibit and never forget this happened. Let’s not let it happen again!
