I've been captivated by the Holocaust since I was young, so we took the opportunity to visit this museum. It had many nice exhibits with artifacts, documents, etc. I never knew so many survivors were near Richmond. I felt some of the character representations down-played the subject, but at the same time were appropriate for a younger audience.

You can see the Virginia Holocaust Museum from the highway as you drive through Richmond on I-95 and before I visited it I thought, "Why would Richmond need a Holocaust Museum when we already have one in DC?"

we have been to many holocoust museums but this rates as the most authentic with interactive displays and a great display of the neurumberg trials this a must in richmond

This is a small museum but it gets a lot done in the space it has.I learned about important Jews in the Richmond area and saw some great local art.
