We spent 6 hours in the exhibits, listening to just abut the entire audio guide. While not everyone will want to dedicate that amount of time, just walking through will not do this topic justice. Get the audio guide. Aside from that, there are no words to convey what you see and learn here.

MoreThe pavilions are designed to evoke maximal emotional response. Even if your background is far removed from the atrocities of WWII and Europe, one still feels the scale of the horrors attested to by Yad Vashem. Along with the barbaric horrors displayed, there is also testament to those who would not submit quietly, would not turn their backs on fellow humans, risked all to help and resist - giving hope that humans are not beyond redemption.

“A must see”
Excellent design very close to what we saw in Auschwitz. The displays have all signs in English. It is still hard to believe this could happen, but it did. The inside and the grounds are beautifully done.
