    I think it should be visited once in a life time to learn of the horrendous history of inhumanity. Learn about the history of genocides that happened in different areas of the world and still happening in the world. It shows that a government that really cares about its subjects is really needed and needed desperately so and soon. Unbelievable what intolerant humans can do their fellow humans and how some humans have been blinded to believe that they are superior and better than others.

    The team at the museum are so welcoming that you forget the heaviness of the exhibition. I was led to the museum during my spiritual walk with God. The coffee shop and garden of remembrance are a most welcome reprieve from the tour. I had the most delicious Latke and cuppacino. A life-changing experience! Thank you to the team!

    An Extremely emotional experience. Confronted with evidence of man's inhumanity & the need to accept that we are capable of such atrocities. Also how people can feel so hopeless & submissive to the abusers.

    It's exceptionally insightful and educational. The museum doesn't just focus on the holocaust but also on other areas/nations affected by genocide. It was also very interesting to note the role South Africa played both positive and negative.

    Highly recommend a visit to the DHGC. A beautiful space, the friendliness of the staff is a cherry on top. I could go on, visit this museum and see for yourself the wonder it is.

    There was a power cut when we got there so restaurant not functioning properly and museum unbearable without airconditioning . The exhibits looked superb but could not stay. NOT THE FAULT OF THE MUSEUM.

    Such a sobering experience. If you want to take a good look into the evils and the good that humanity is capable of, please visit this place. Love their café. Good coffee.

    Very informative, not only about the Holocaust but also about other genocides. Also respectful in how they deliver the information and photographs of the victims and survivors. Definitely a place one should visit.
