"The Montréal Holocaust Museum charts the history of the Holocaust from the perspective of survivors. The museum consists mainly of video installations and artifacts, all donated by Holocaust survivors living in Montreal, home to the third-largest Holocaust survivor population in the world. The mission here is to educate visitors about the Holocaust as an important event in world history while also sensitizing them to the universal perils of antisemitism, racism, hatred, and indifference. Located in the West End, the museum is well-worth the trek from downtown; in addition to the superb permanent exhibition, there are seasonal events and exhibitions." - Richard Burnett

I loved how they formed the museum. Starting from first world war and continuing to second world war and even now. You will see not much horrible scenes. But if you are sensitive, better not to go. so, if you can, go there and learn about the history of jewish people.

Small museum, but with an impressive amount of information related to the origins and traditions of the Jewish community, as well as different moments of WWI and WWII. If you are around Cote Des Neiges, it is definitely a must visit. Free admission for adults and students on Sundays, closed on Mondays. Plus, you can sit down and enjoy a coffee at the end of your tour ☕

It's a very nice and interesting museum. Perfect to learn more about the Holocaust and to appreciate some articles that were used at that time.

The Holocaust museum in Montreal is a place where you can find a lot of accurate information and testimonials about the Holocaust. During my visit, I had the opportunity to virtually speak with a survivor in France. You can also find videos, pictures, and items from that time there. It was a good experience, and the service is really nice. Highly recommended.

Note: The Museum is closed on Saturday, because is Sabatt! It was a great learning experience. The video interviews gave it a human perspective. I learned that the Warsaw Ghetto was one of many ghettos all over Europe. So many people died from hunger and sickness. I gain a new understanding about the suffering of those brave people. Also, about how evil was the Third Reich.

This is the best place to learn about Jewish history, culture and specially the inhuman behaviour that Jewish people faced during Hitler years. I came to know why Jewish elderly people don’t wanna take shower in the bathroom. I learned why peoples in Jewish culture seems so religious to wash their hands before and after meal. I strongly recommend this museum to visit for anyone interested to know everything about the Jewish.

We try to visit Holocaust museums in every city we travel to. NY and Washington DC are far and away the best. Montreal has an enormous Jewish community with many Holocaust survivors. This museum, although small, gave a really personal view of the life of Jews during that horrific decade. The iPad tour was incredibly concise and packed with information. A 'must see.'
