“A Great Exhibit of a Terrible Time in History”

“A Must See Museum!”
The Holocaust presented by telling personal stories of the victims. It memorializes and attempts to identify and name all persons lost in the Holocaust. Housed in a world-class architecturally beautiful building and gardens, it is a must see for all !!
