👍👍 Small museum but loved it. If you watch all the videos and extra exhibits you could spend about 2 hours there. It's also free! People often mention museum,

    Very moving and enlightening. You here stories of survivors and see the tragedies that took place. So thankful to be able to see these things, a reminder of sheer determination to survive

    I took a friend here for a Sunday funday adventure. There is a lot of reading, and the VR simulation for Anne Franks Annex was quite the experience. I learned more at this museum than I did in grade school about the Holocaust in southern Ohio’s education system and the most fascinating tidbit I learned was that Nazi’s were referred to as stormtroopers. Made me wonder if George Lucas was using a play on words in the famous Star Wars series. I gave this place a 4 star because it was not clear on where the entrance was for the museum, although this may be a safety feature and not a lack of signage as the buildings heavily guarded for obvious reasons. I also felt as a wheelchair user the thick carpet was extremely difficult to maneuver over and there was just too many chairs set up in the viewing rooms for me to not get a cric in my neck while viewing the first rooms exhibit. While the museum attendant did ask if she could move chairs for me, it’s something I don’t enjoy calling attention to and do prefer for things to be wheelchair friendly in museums before attending than an after the fact experience.

    Very well displayed. Toys that were made as well as paper work that was needed during that time. Uniforms and Nazi items.

    This place needs to be well known because very few people know about it.

    Very informative despite being relatively small. The hour long tour was filled with exhibits and knowledge. Overall a great place to go to just for educational purposes or even to get to know your lineage.

    A small museum with plenty to offer. Very informative with heart wrenching memories of the atrocities committed by fellow man, however also inspiring stories of bravery and perseverance. The medical ethics exhibit detailing the history of eugenics was also very interesting and well done. Thank you for having such a great memorial. Also—it’s free to visit!

    So Educational, I didn't even know this place existed. It is so important to teach people about history, especially tragic events like this. That is the only way to avoid it happening again.

    My 9 year old daughter and I were so moved and learned so much at this museum. The exhibits are incredible, especially the Anne Frank Virtual Reality tour. This should be a required class trip for all students in the central Florida counties. The museum docents and staff were so knowledgable and kind. We would absolutely return in the future to see any new exhibits.

    Very educational, we learned details you just can’t learn from a history book. The exhibit is well maintained with care. Would recommend taking the time to visit.

    Really an amazing place to learn and understand all of the pieces of what happened to the holocaust victims. This is a relatively small place but is full of information. If you're interested in understanding what life was for the Jews then, please visit and share their stories.

    The museum far exceeded our expectations. My family and I expected to only be there an hour- but stayed much longer. My kids enjoyed the VR experience the most. As a homeschooling mom, I was very thankful that Mr. Poynor was there & took time to talk to my kids , asking thought provoking questions & gave them a mini lesson of the Holocaust. He really made a lasting impression on my oldest son & daughter. Thank you!

    Loved the new exhibit -- Peace of My Mind – a thought provoking multimedia arts project, created by award-winning photographer John Noltner. The exhibit uses portraits and personal stories to bridge divides and encourage dialogue around important issues.

    What an incredible experience of learning today - may history never be erased or repeated. Thank you for the volunteers and staff that shared their personal testimonies and vast knowledge with our group. Very grateful!
