My Life in Israel - Alek B V.

An important place to visit in Israel cause it makes u aware and always reminded of history’s horror during the most unforgettable tragedy in history the Holocaust! U cant take pics here in respect for those men women n children who perished... it was a sad visit n just quietly looking n reading thru stories of what seems like from horror movies of suffering n deaths but there was also stories of courage n strength of faith n hope... my unforgettable visit was short cuz i was alone n late coming ... i only took pics outside the bldg. i would like to visit again n even go to the library... im not a jew but forever loves Israel n the Jewish people!.. much respect n prayers to all victims of this horrific crime n the their families.. may their memories forever be a blessing!.. 🙏

Learn about one of the most important eras in jewish history, as well as seeing testimony of the unprecedented tragedy. Much more than just a memorial, the complex is filled with fascinating accounts and exhibits from the rise of german antisemitism through the barbaric atrocities and their aftermath. EVERYONE should visit in their lives, whether to connect to their heritage or to witness the depths to which humanity can descend when we embrace hatred.

A must for everyone. It is an educational visit. Budget ample time. It isn’t easy. But it’s necessary for Jew and non Jew alike. There are no tickets or admission fees. But they will hand you and entry permit. Take Herzl exit in light rail (end of the line) and either catch a free shuttle or walk down road. 10 min max walk.

Absolutely fascinating place. You'll need a booking reservation. This can be completed on arrival, but entry could be delayed. Bags aren't permitted. Free lockers are available downstairs. There is more to the place than you may think. Be sure you have plenty of time. It's definitely worth the time.

A highly emotional experience. The exhibition is finely thought-out and presented, fully encapsulating the reasons, results and outcome of the Holocaust. The complex also includes several memorials set around the park. Admittance is free, so there is no reason that precludes the curious visitor of visiting the museum. A must-visit when you’re in Jerusalem.

I visited this place with friends, you should prepare yourself very well emotionally and spiritually, it's not like any museum, the way it design is really unique and the narrative meanwhile the diversity of the contents,the way they present in the same time the politics aspects. I hope this place will be more open to accepting people from different perspectives and religions. The location of this place is provocative for some people and neighbors, that's what I heard.

Outstanding. A must see if you come to Israel. The museum has a terrific, modern architecture with plenty of significance. The displays are in chronological order. I thought I knew a lot about the Holocaust and found out I knew very little. The displays are super powerful.

Very informative and attractive museum to understand the WWII and how Jew were killed by Nazi. It’s a sad history showing the loss of humanity in the era of wartime. We need to learn from the history. Need to go the Children Memorial as you will be impressed.

A must visit museum for every person on the planet. The horrible history our not that distant ancestors experienced must not be forgotten and learned in the near and distant future. The visit takes around two hours and includes lots of exhibits, interview with survivors ands lots of interesting reading materials. The building itself is very impressive and the view in the end is mesmerizing. Note that you must have a green pass to enter.

This place is imbued with the memory of what this place is dedicated to, and it’s not just here and there objects scattered around, as it is often in different museums and exhibitions... This place shows various installations, photographs, objects in the way that sometimes it is possible just to stand for a long time beside each such installation, fascinated and breathless, as if you feel all that then and there was happening, to which the installation is dedicated. This place among museums, as "Schindler's List" among the films.
