MoreA very important, very thoroughly educational and very emotionally moving museum that is modern and tells the Holocaust story very well. If you have not been to other Holocaust museums, then you will need a lot more time to digest all that this one offers, probably all day. If you have been to others, you can review things here a little faster along. No photography is allowed in the museum. Just a personal note here: I have been to Ausciwicz in Poland and pictures are allowed there, yet I just could not personally take any photos of what I saw (inside) I did outside. Here, photos were not allowed, yet I wished I could have taken a few from an educational point of view and to help me to remember what I saw on this trip. It was more educational here, still emotional, but different from Ausciwicz, of course. That said, it was a worthwhile visit to see this museum here in Israel and I definitely recommend it to everyone of all ages to everyone in the world. We must never forget!

“Awesome”
The holocaust museum of Israel is awesome, if a little overwhelming. The grounds are enormous and contain almost as much info as the museum. The number of artifacts in this museum is amazing. Very moving experience (even with the bakery large Passover crowds). A must see in Jerusalem even for non-Jews like us.
