The Florida Holocaust Museum

I went on free Duke day. I needed to go. I was excited to see Thor. Also to re-read all the details. Each time you go you will learn something new. Found the yiddishism's delightful, as it is officially a dead language if we don't keep it alive. Looking forward to the use of the new terrace. Quite the location nowadays. Parking is tricky. Now I need a bagel.

Wow, what a museum full of an abundance of history and information. There is a lot to read at this museum so heads up there. Also leave your purse in the car or be prepared to check it at the ticket window.

This is a very emotionally powerful museum. It is designed to be child friendly, so it doesn’t go as in-depth as some museums on the subject I’ve been to. The volunteer was very helpful in describing the museum and exhibits. They had two temporary exhibits going on during my visit. I found the “We Share The Same Sky” exhibit to be the most moving. It was very touching and had many items that brought me back to the museums of Europe. I would definitely return in the future, it’s a really special place here in Florida to be able to reflect on exhibits and items that normally you would have to travel to Europe to see.

This is definitely something you need to be mentally prepared for before visiting. It is horrifying in every way, and includes artifacts from real death camp prisoners and a real railway car used to transport people to death camps. It is something I would recommend for teenagers and older. Probably not suitable for younger children in most cases. While the subject matter is obviously very difficult, the museum is well organized, clean, and very informative. It is definitely worth a visit. There are restrooms on the 2nd and 3rd floor and an elevator along with stairs. All guests need to go through a metal detector upon entering the museum. There is a prayer room located on the first floor.

Very educational and powerful exhibits. So much to learn from this museum and unique exhibits displaying individual experiences. My 4th grader read "Number the Stars" and "The War That Saved My Life" in school this year so it was valuable for her to learn more of the history behind her books. My 1st grader appreciated certain aspects of the museum, but didn't have the awareness to fully appreciate it. I'd love to go again without my kids in tow. The staff were amazing and very helpful. They had a sign that they will be starting renovations soon. I'd love to come back after those are completed!!!

A smallish and important museum. The stories are tragic and touching. The second floor exhibit was especially nice, although that part seems to change. This time, they had the "We Share the Same Sky" exhibit, which featured a granddaughter's look at her family history. We were able to get in for free using library passes, which was nice.

Recently visited the Holocaust Museum, the museum itself is an oustanding display of a tragic time in world history, . The incident that took place and ruined the day was the fact the museum management had our cars towed while we were actually in the museum. We parked in the museum lot, walked across the street for a quick lunch and returned 15 minutes later. While we were in the museum our two cars were towed. We spoke with a member of management and he had no concern or offered any corrective action. The cost was $ 168.00 each to get our cars back.

"The Florida Holocaust Museum masterfully honors the memory of those affected by the Holocaust through its deeply moving exhibits. From personal artifacts like the Star of David buttons and special permits that tell individual stories of survival and loss, to the chilling display of a cattle car used for deportations, each piece poignantly contributes to a broader understanding of this dark chapter in history. This museum is not merely a place to visit, but a profound educational resource that evokes a sense of responsibility to remember and learn from the past."
