Amazing and informational experience. I spent a good two-and-a-half hours here and skipped some of the reading and did not go to the kids section. This museum gives the points of view of almost every country involved in the persecution of Jews during the Holocaust. There was lots of information here that I learned that was skipped or glossed over in my normal history class. The curators were very brave in depicting several countries complicity in this tragedy, including the United States.

The only downside was the museum was insanely crowded, especially at the front. Plan to get there early and miss these crowds.
