Nick and Me standing outside the museum. It is hard to get good pictures of the both of us when we have to rely on a passing stranger to snap the shot--oh well!
Pictures aren't allowed in the museum's exhibits, but here is a picture of the entrance to the building. The architecture of the museum is really unique.
This museum was very well-done. When you enter the permanent exhibit, everyone picks up an identification card that contains a picture and information about a person who lived during the Holocaust. Nick's person eventually made it to the United States while mine was discovered in hiding and died in Auschwitz. It is sobering to enter the museum with real people on your mind.
The exhibit was large--covering three floors. It followed the history of the Holocaust from beginning to end in order and was easy to follow. The displays were informative and they had some interesting artifacts on display. We thought they did a great job with the exhibit and would suggest it to anyone visiting. It did take us about 2 hours to get through the entire thing, but it was worth it.
