Holocaust Memorial Museum

The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is closely associated with depiction of the events and history of Nazi rule of Germany from 1933 to 1945.

The exhibition is presented in three sections: The Nazi rise to power, the period of Nazi rule and the immediate aftermath, presented through an extraordinary collection of photography and film. The Exhibition is not recommended for children under 12.

In 1993, this museum opened to document & bear witness to the Third Reich's systematic persecution & murder of 6,000,000 Jews & other "undesirables". To experience this museum is to experience a range of dramatic emotions from sadness to anger. It's also an interactive museum.

The photographs, artifacts, letters, & video monitors contain graphic & disturbing images. The poignant exhibit for children called Daniel's Story is about an 8- year- old Jewish boy from 1930s Germany.

Open daily 10 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. with extended hours to 7:50 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, April through mid- June. Closed on Yom Kippur and December 25.
