In one word, history. Never forget! It could happen again and to any race. A MUST SEE! Not a lot to see, but very powerful!
This museum is very well designed. The exhibits provide a great mix of emotion and information. My main issue was the crowd. Our Saturday tour group of 30-40 barely fit into the exhibit halls. It was difficult to hear the guide at times, and I felt claustrophobic. When the guide discussed how Jews were stuffed into cattle cars for transport to concentration camps, I felt like I could really relate to their plight :( I think some kind of crowd control could really enhance the experience for visitors.
This is a very well done exhibit of one of the worst times in our history. There are photos, art work and the guides are excellent. Everyone should see this place!
I walked in and it was free for students. They had a few tour groups going but since I went alone, I walked past them and listened to their stories. I was fascinated by the art and pictures that were portrayed. This was a good learning experience.
The museum is a great place to visit and learn about the Holocaust. It has so much information and was very interesting.
Very well organized, thoughtfully put together museum. Many, many artifacts and pictures, all with a Houston connection. Somber, but beautiful grounds and exhibits. The video of the survivors speaking about their experiences are incredibly powerful and heartbreaking. Everyone should see this!
Pretty small, but still remarkable! Very organized with easily accessible elements to see. Free parking and for students it was free -- we didn't have our student ID's with us and they took our word, which we thought was super nice.
This museum is full of great information about the Holocaust. I've visited many different museums on this topic, and this one had information and photos I had not seen before! The only down side is it is quite small, but don't let that deter you. Also, it is FREE for students with a student ID. Was even able to meet a Houston area Holocaust survivor while there. This museum takes special effort to honor the survivors in the Houston area, which gave the museum a unique touch.
Excellent museum. Very well done. Meaningful, educational, interesting and important. A must see for older children, teens and adults of all ages, races and religions.
The exhibits are informative and horrifying. However, the museum is small and the space isn't sufficient to develop the overall narrative.If you know the history, the exhibits will engage you. If you don't know the history, I'm not sure that the experience will be as powerful. Of course, that is part of the point of the museum - the horror it memorializes is receding into history.
