Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust

“A sobering exhibit of the roots of antisemitism and especially the Shoah(the Holocaust). The Cafe Bergson on the 2nd floor offered tasty bagel sandwiches and pastry. I recommend the bialy and pastrami lox sandwich. On the third floor, We then went to the Denmark rescue mission during the Nazi occupation. Family friendly illustrations, oral history , artifacts, shadow pupetry and holographic image tell the story of the conditions as they worsened for the Jews. The rescue mission by boats to Sweden is told with a model of the Gerda III and creative use of shadow, light images and narration. Impressive!”

“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!!”

“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.”

“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.”
