i went almost 2 years ago and it was probably the most interesting place i have ever been. i have always been extremely interested in wwii and the holocaust and to have seen these brutally honest pictures, videos, and accounts was likely one of the most important moments of my life. it's like learning in a few short hours how cruel people can be to each other (nazis) and yet how brave, compassionate, strong, and selfless they can be too (those you risked everything to fight them).

is that place in DC?

As a tour director, I bring groups there all the time. It is a moving, stirring, haunting, emotional experience that should not be missed. The importance of visiting these museums is more critical than ever since the generation of direct witnesses is slowly dying off. We must never forget.

I have learned that the same problem for me exists at the United States National Holocaust Memorial Museum that exists at every other Holocaust museum. I am not surprised at all. It is always that way or worse. I do not expect that issue to be rectified in my lifetime so I shall continue my personal studies into and teaching of the Holocaust. Maybe some day historical accuracy shall be FULLY reflected. One of these days I want to get to Auschwitz or other historical places.

I recently did. It was stunningly well done. Regardless of your own personal beliefs or religion it is a remarkable experience. Everyone should go. The scary part is that the top floor reconstructs the events leading up to the holocaust. It is so much like now that ..... well. Hitler came to power in just about six months. It is terrifying to realize that a whole country can be hijacked and flown to disaster by one man in such a short period.
