Second visit enabled us to browse and appreciate each and every picture or explanation. This is a Must visit to everyone. The horrible year of Nazi Germany and the unbelieveable attrocities and discrimination. Each of us, human beings, should watch, understand and act so faschism and racism will never happen again anywhere.

“A must for all visitors”
This museum and archive is devoted to presenting the story of the Holocaust, the Nazis' destruction of European Jewry. It is done beautifully, dramatically, tastefully, with modern audio visuals and other exhibits. A thorough visit could easily take up a full day; try to stay at least 3-4 hours to get a full impact....

Despite the incredibly depressing subject matter,iIt is so well done that it is suitable for all ages but the youngest children.

“Deeply moving experience”
It is hard to express the depth of emotion I experienced at Yad Vashem. It’s a must see for anyone on any trip to Israel.

MoreIt is hard to express the depth of emotion I experienced at Yad Vashem. It’s a must see for anyone on any trip to Israel. There is tremendous detail about all aspects of the Holocaust—from Hitler’s rise to power to the death camps, uprisings and protectors— in the museum itself. The memorials and sculptures outside are also so solemn. Much of the story is told through video of survivors relating their first hand experiences. This is extremely effective. The entire place tells an amazing and horrific story we must never forget.
