Review of USHMM

I've been in Yad Vashem and other Holocaust museum...

I've been in Yad Vashem and other Holocaust museums from Europe to South Africa and can say that this one hits the mark and does an excellent job in chronicling this tragedy. The coverage of how social norms and pressures evolved a society that would allow this to happen are very relevant today. However, it gives comes up short in covering aspects pertaining to how the USA and Americans in general responded. It also fails to adequately point out how other genocides have taken place and how they continue.
