Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust

We visited to see exhibit on Danish rescue of its Jewish population and learn how their King bravely stood up to Nazis and refused to hand over lists. First visited in 1998. Amazed to see how museum has grown.

It's an amazing place to see, but not for the faint of heart!! It is a true life depiction of life as a Jew and details the true stories, the personal items, their clothing, concentration camp uniforms, and lives of Jews before, during, and after the Holocaust!! I think every human on earth should visit, spend a day seeing the Hell, Hitler created for the Jews!! Around every corner is another account experienced by another human being. Every section has videos, some interactive holographic characters telling short stories of daily life!!

Our first time here. We will return as often as the program here warrants. Today we saw "Becoming Dr. Ruth." 90 minutes of brilliant entertainment. As visible in our posted photos, every seat in this smallish theater is a good one! Clearly, we wish to return to visit the museum as well.

A very meaningful experience. I would say a better over all experience than the DC Holocaust museum - like yad vashem, where you exit and look upon Israel in all her glory, when you leave the museum of Jewish heritage you see lady liberty and New York harbor - a different homeland for the Jewish people. Worth the stop - free Wednesday and thruway evenings.

Excellent museum. Spent two hours here and I could have spent another hour or two because there was so much to look at. Next time I want to try out their cafe on site. Beautiful views of the Hudson and the Statue of Liberty from the upper floors as well. We saw some great exhibitions and I'm really glad we chose to check this museum out.

not as much to see as I'd like. there are some new installations in process but right now there isn't that much with the exception of the virtual reality portion. the virtual reality part is actually really interesting. they did a good job with the filming of it

It has been nearly 20 years since I first visited this museum. I guess I first visited this place when it first opened. I went back to bring my family so they could learn more about the Holocaust. I do believe this museum is quite informative. However it is now a shell of what I remember the exibits were when it first opened. I remember spending hours going through the exibits. We saw everything in about 40 minutes. I'm glad at least my kids' tickets were free.

Very interesting and informative. What I learned has left me thinking about the sad history of the struggle many times throughout the day. Very beautiful building.
