Had a guide who described the area and what went on during war years.

There were 430,000 Jewish people in Warsaw before ww2. Less than 20,000 survived. It is hard to believe but visiting will make it real to you. Never forget.

The largest Jewish resistance of WWII took place here, and every visitor should go to pay respects. Though it is still under construction, it will be worth the visit when completed.

The single block of dirty old broken buildings, with huge photos of faces hanging from them comprise the most visceral thing is Warsaw for me. Peering through the holes in the doors gave a tantalising glimpse of the REAL thing.

Wow We visited lots of the museums, puts everything into prospective! Well worth a visit

We were in Warsaw for the March of the Living and so the emphasis was on Jewish historical sites. These were very, very moving and also very sad. Explanations were very good for a very rich history

It was only a few walls with names on and a small piece of road where the railway line was that transported people to concentration camps, but it was well worth going to, as it had an air to it that was very moving

When I traveled (July 2011), a large touristic building was being built next to the Memorial. This will add a lot more worth to the site when it opens to the public. The Memorial is definitely worth a visit even if the site is in construction due to its significance. It won't blow you away, but will definitely make you... More

As everything was destroyed, there is nothing left - the memorial is wonderful but not "historical".
