MoreWe toured this memorial museum on our last day of a tour of the Holy Land. The building itself was a remarkable structure on the mountainside. It was an elongated building and you walked through several sections which were broadly chronological in order. The material was very well laid out and vividly showed the suffering of the European Jews in the fist half of the twentieth century. It illustrated well man's inhumanity to man and that such a terrible event must never happen again. One should allow at least three hours to absorb everything in the museum - we only had an hour and a half which was not sufficient time.
Less“3 rating due to crowds”
The museum is really well done. The problem is the very narrow pathways through each room in the pyramid like building. There are mobs of people and it is very difficult to pass. Fortunately, I had already been to Auschwitz, so I didn't feel the need to see everything.
