South Beach is glitz and parties, but in the heart of it is this wonderful, poetic, sculptural phenomenon. Definitely worth the few minutes it takes to get there and the short -- if moving -- time it takes to take it in.

Too flat. I expected more from a place that addresses the pain the jewis people suffered. I still think is a place where people should go and remember what hatred can do. Dont ever forget what dictaros and murderers can do.

This place tells the story of how the Jewish people were almost eliminated by the Germans and in graphic detail, lots of history and emotionally moving symbolic art related to the topic

Emotional....this is a must see. Many stories are told on the area, walls, pictures, etc.....moving and sobering. Spend some time and take your time reading and seeing it all. Never forget.
