A visit to Beth Shalom, The National Holocaust Centre , challenges; it challenges your senses; it challenges your perception of history; it challenges your beliefs in humanity and can even challenge your faith. It also inspires when you hear from those who survive the horrors of the Death Camps and all they faced.Any visit requires time to see the exhibits and reflection in the beautiful grounds. Before any visit check the website for opening times

Although we live very near to the centre we have never visited, oh what a shame we didn't. The approach is a beautiful memorial garden and the centre itself is amazing. There is a museum which reminds one of the awful atrocities to the Jews before and during WW2, and then there is the Journey which is an exhibition where little Leo takes you through his hiding place and this is aimed mostly at school children to give them an idea how it was during those times. I found it all very harrowing but so pleased I visited. Finished off with a tea and scones in the garden which was really cheap and lush too

We visited last week (mum and child) We were warmly welcomed at the door and everything was comprehensively explained to us. The prices were fair (£15 for one adult and one child, with plenty of free parking.) There was no speaker (child survivor of the Holocaust) that day, which was not a problem to us, but the lovely chap in the shop gave us a voucher to return on a pre-arranged date if we wanted to, to hear a guest speaker. The facilities were excellent, with plenty of clean loo's and a very reasonably priced café (with such friendly ladies.) While we had a hot chocolate each (cold day!), a lovely gentleman chatted to us and asked us what we thought about the exhibition. He didn't say, but I got the feeling he was perhaps the owner (it is a privately owned museum.)The exhibitions were sensitively and rationally portrayed and although the main exhibition contained (understandably) some graphic and upsetting images, I was able to distract my child not to see two of the most shocking photographs (he is nearly secondary school age, so able to appreciate the atrocity of war and concept of Holocaust, but the pictures were of starving children and therefore too upsetting to see.)There was a second exhibition called The Journey, which was aimed at children and helping them to understand the context behind what happened, as part of the lead up to WW2. This was so interesting and was quite interactive. When we had finished looking round (we were surprised to find we had been there for 2.5hrs!), we had a look around the memorial gardens, which were so sad.This museum is an absolute must-see, so we will never forget the atrocities that happened. Highly recommended for a sobering, but interesting afternoon and hopefully this museum will continue to educate young people.

This is a lovely museum set in countryside with beautiful gardens which full of lovely memorials. The exhibits are moving and remind us of mans inhumanity to man and how a race of people were persecuted by another. The journey was a wonderful series of exhibitions showing how the German Jews were made scapegoats and eventually were nearly all exterminated.The basement exhibition I found rather crowded and did not follow a logical path, but never the less I would encourage anyone to visit this moving museum. The cafe is very reasonable and very good for a snack.

My husband and I visited The Holocaust center before our trip to Poland to visitthe death camps there. It gave us a good insight to what we were to expect but on a much greater scale. The staff are extremely helpful but not too intrusive. The rose gardens are serene and peaceful. The whole experience is peaceful and emotional. So pleased this place is now open to the public. Well done to all concerned, even to the staff in the tea rooms,..wonderful

I visited here with my husband and parents on Friday 18th July. The drive there was not as expected as the centre is in the middle of nowhere but surrounded by lovely countryside all the same. From the car park we walked through the gardens to get to the visitor centre. There were lovely messages from family members and areas dedicated to memorials with tributes. It was very peaceful. Entry was £8 per adult. All staff that we spoke to went above and beyond their duties to explain elements about the museum. Their passion was evident. The museum was informative and well set out. It was quiet and peaceful throughout the museum. It allowed for lots of time to read the information and take in all of the information. The Journey expedition was also very good and provided the opportunity to experience what life was like as a child during the Holocaust. We had a drink and cake in the café where the lady was exceptionally helpful. Unfortunately we were unable to do the survivor's talk as it was fully booked for the day. The website recommends that you book in advance but we were given a free voucher to return for the day to listen to the talk. Definitely worth a visit. Informative and moving with excellent staff!

I took my Dad along in the summer and I have to say it was a really interesting visit. I learned a lot but my Dad was engrossed and it brought back a lot of memories for him.
