This museum is incredibly well thought out and well executed. This topic is very serious, and I think the museum created an atmosphere that made people aware of this even if they didn’t know much about it, and if you didn’t know about it, you would learn a lot about it by the time that you left that day.
Going through the permanent exhibition, which covers three floors, you really begin to grasp a level of the severity of everything that happened in the holocaust. You could easily spend upwards of an hour on each floor just taking in all of the information and reflecting on it all. They had videos of survivors playing, describing their experiences, instalations showing the shoes of people from camps, images explaining how the chambers worked, and more. Every section of the museum was utilized to show people the extent of what the Nazi’s did and how many people were affected by their actions.
There’s no possible way someone could understand what went on but this museum allows people to grieve and remember the people who suffered in this tragedy.
