United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
This museum draws its visitors into the truth and historical significance of the Holocaust through intensely personal stories from the people who actually lived it. Many Holocaust memorials seek not just to provide a historical timeline but to put an end to ignorance and bigotry today that leads to similar atrocities. This one is no exception. In one part of the museum, visitors walk through the three phases of World War II. In another they experience the history through the eyes of one boy named Daniel, the events described through his own journal entries. This is a moving, historical experience that provides a lasting impact on students today and is perfect for educational tours.
