If I had to choose one place in Jerusalem, that would be the museum. Concrete, modern construction built on the hills below the center of Jerusalem. Access directly from the old town by tram number one ("Mount Herzl" stop.) Entrance to the museum is free, but it is worth to buy audioguide - it is in several languages, including Polish (30 shekels) .The museum is very popular - crowds come to it. It is difficult to turn around in order to see the museum and the park with trees planted by the Righteous Among the Nations need a good 4-5 hours.The exhibition in the museum is modern and very varied. It touches not only the issue of the Holocaust but also the presence of Jews in the world in general. It is a deeply moving and extremely informative place.
