Holocaust Memorial Museum

The National Holocaust Museum is a beautiful and moving experience for group travel to Washington D.C. It presents the tragedy of the Nazi assault through stories and artifacts from the lives of those who lived it. Each story sweeps visitors immediately into deeply personal accounts of World War II.

The Holocaust is the main exhibit here, spread throughout three floors and divided into three sections, Nazi Assault, Final Solution, and Last Chapter. Each uses artifacts, film footage, and eyewitness accounts to tell the moving stories.

Remember the Children: Daniel’s Story was carefully prepared and approved by child psychiatrists, classroom educators, and those in other fields of child development to present the Holocaust in a way that children can understand. Daniel was an actual survivor of the Holocaust, and his story is told through his own diary.

Many more exhibits in the National Holocaust Museum continue to tell the horrific stories of the Nazi Assault and the heroic stories of survival and rescue. Other exhibits enlighten visitors on government propaganda and written materials still in circulation today that lead to hate, ignorance, and the very same attitudes and beliefs that have led to genocide in the past.

The National Holocaust Museum not only tells a story of the past but hopes to spread knowledge that prevents such atrocity in the future.
