Words From Fellow Students
“The audio-guides were very useful and helped explain a lot of content in the museum. It was very informative. Also, the concentration camp screens taught me a lot of new things.”
“This is a great place for projects or any homework about the Holocaust. There is plenty of information given and it is great for people who do not have internet access.”
