A moving museum, with a lot of emotion, not expensive if you use the radio headsets. A personal tour is very very expensive. A lot of people were in tears as they have lost people to the Germans in the war. Well worth a visit compared to a lot of sites.

MoreWe came as a tour group and had lunch before visiting the place. Lunch is delicious. The museum has a comprehensive coverage of the time before and after the holocaust. There are many videos that show the events during the period. There are interviews with survivors. Lots of photographs and exhibits from the holocaust with good explanation. It is very depressing and stirs all kinds of feeling about the atrocities and sufferings of the people. We didn't have enough time to see everything - it takes at least 3 to 4 hours to visit the museum. The exit is lined up with trees dedicated to the righteous eg Corrie Ten Boom, Oscar Schindler, etc. A solemn and excellent experience for mankind.

MoreThe audio guide is excellent and explains the history and background to the photographic evidence of the worst terror ever perpetrated by man on man. So many countries complicit in this madness and still so recent. There is a room for every country and it takes time to absorb the brutality and cruelty of each nation. It takes 3 hours to complete the walk through the museum and another hour or more to recover - every child should go there as part of their education - it would change the world.
