MoreFascinating museum, to look at everything properly would take a full day but it's so crowded you rush through just to keep ahead of the tour groups. I felt this museum focuses more on the plight of the Jewish people including before and after WW2 whereas the DC one has more focus on the atrocities of the Holocaust. Entry free but the guide map costs 13NIS. Backpacks must be checked. If you take the light rail to Mt Herzl, walk back to the traffic lights, then walk down the forest path.

“Bring a Tissue”
Oh my what can anyone say about this place, it just broke my heart, couldn't stop weeping. Such examples of the will to live and amazing stories of Heroism and self sacrifices. Strength in a people so badly beaten down.
