i was there too for my class trip. i went to a jewish school so all the kids in my class were jewish. lots were crying. i was silent, the little tvs in the ground with the expirement stuff freaked me out. i saw the empty torsos and stuff... it was kinda freaky. but i'm glad that they have one, people are so ignorant they do need to see and hear about it. it's that important.

I went to the Holocaust Museum in 2000, while I was in DC for the March on washington.
It hurt to see everything, and it was almost like I could feel the pain reeking off the items in the museum.
I can't even remember how many times I had to stop just to recolect myself, it tugged hard at my heart strings.
I still have the little booklet you get at the begingin of the museum, its like a small passport booklet type thing, and each one has the information of a different Jewish person who died in the concentration camps.
My trip to the museum was very influential to the report I did on the holocaust in Highschool.

Teikiatsu My trip to the museum was very influential to the report I did on the holocaust in Highschool. I'm not allowed to write any of my high school history papers on the Holocaust... My dad said that he doesn't want me to research something that I already know about.

I've never been there, though I think I'm going next year for a class trip.
My temple recently built a small one on their property, I wanna go check it out.

I went to Auchwitz(sp) in Poland, with my friend. It was so sad to see it.

I was there a few months ago with my school. The two eldest grades went with a parent. It was a very moving experiance I must say. Although, I did happen to rush through a lot of it, as I was a bit too freaked out by it and I didn't want to do it alone. My father had to leave the exhibit halfway through because my brother was in the process of switching schools so I rushed to meet up with my friend and her father.

I've never been there; yet I visited Yad VaShem countless times - the new one, that's highly recommended for everyone who gets the opportunity to come to Jerusalem, included.
I have, also, returned from a very meaningful trip to Poland two weeks ago. I do think museums give you a very small taste of what had happened there, but everyone, Jews and non-Jews, should visit at least one of those museums to learn and try to understand the deadly effects of racism, and be aware to this cruelty we most tend to repress.
I wish everyone could see the death camps and learn about it through them, however, that is not possible - and the museums are a pretty good alternative.
(Oh, I'm new in here. First post... It happens.)

Olivia_Rose I went to Auchwitz(sp) in Poland, with my friend. It was so sad to see it. Did you only go to Auschwitz 1, or did you see Auschwitz-Birkenau? I found it very hard to get attached with things in Auschwitz 1 - now it's just a very big museum. Well, but the hair and other objects that are displayed there, I haven't seen anything I haven't seen before, and felt like I was really missing something out. However, Auschwitz-Birkenau is pretty much the way it used to be, even though many barracks are gone and the crematoriums are blown up (well, the one from Auschwitz 1 still exists though...), only there you can truly begin to understand why it was called "another planet". This place has much more powerful influence on you, I think.
