Many people were in tears as they left the Thomas exhibit. The entire museum is incredibly well designed. You cannot visit without a life lastng memory of man's potential for inhumanity. A must visit for any traveler. Like thenwashington monument, you need to get in line before 10 AM to get a ticket for a specified time during the day.... More

The museum takes you from the top floor - the rise of Hitler -- to the bottom floor - the liberation. Multi-sensual experience -- artifacts, as well as facsimiles, audio, video, and real visuals -- the shoes.

Everyone should go here, its a tough subject, but the Museum does an excellent job of teaching the world of what happened.

A very impressive museum with a lot of information from the hazy regimen and his consequences to Jews and others. It has movies and pictures that give you a good vision of the holocaust.
