    Understanding the past

    The information and videos that showed how Hitler rose to his power was very informative. There was a time that it took a while to get through the area do too many people.

    A Must-See

    Hard to walk through the 4 floors of tragic and horrible history, but important to experience. I've never seen most of the photos and videos. There were hundreds of people walking through, and it was quiet. One thing that stood out for me was the...More

    Vacation

    Was disappointed and unable to see all of the museum. The day we went, ALL the elevators were out of order. My husband had a walker so we couldn’t visit all exhibits.

    Excellently Done!

    Visited on a Saturday, which was crowded. Probably better during the week. Excellently laid out. Love the beginning, Daniel’s Story, it really helps to explain the perspective of a child. The history is easy to follow, lots of pictures and extremely moving. Giving the cards...More

    Remembering history

    This exhibit is very emotional from the moment you step into the elevator after receiving your id card. Definitely a stop everyone should make when in Washington.

    An 8 hour tour of DC generally does not have time for the Holocaust. I think the US Capitol tour is more important. If you have children less tha age 13 you might consider doing just Daniel’s Story at the Holocaust which... More

    We bought ours the day before and got tickets for 11:45. Id check around noon the day before at least to be sure. Some days you can walk right in-others you’d be out of luck.
