I find it almost too much to take in emotionally. Unbelievably shocking history. It somehow seems too much to take in or is it a defense mechanism to block it out to some degree because of the horror? The personal recordings from survivors at the end were most touching.

This museum is a completely self guided tour. You get one of the phone looking things and all the exhibits and pictures have a 3 digit number that you punch into the audio guide and listen too. There are three main exhibits in the museum, including a glimpse into what was going on in DFW during WWII. They have DFW... More

We lucked out (I usually plan these things well in advance, but we simply happened upon it while strolling downtown and walked in) by getting to hear an actual Holocaust survivor speak to a group of students who were on a field trip. It was beyond touching; it was heart wrenching to listen to his first hand account of his... More

I've been to the Dallas Holocaust museum twice now, and both times I walked away with a profound respect for the survivors and victims of this horrible atrocity. Although the topic is grim, the museum is a must see. The museum takes you from the beginning of the war, shares personal stories of Dallas survivors, and ends with a moving... More

Was a part of history that some people would like to forget ever happened. This place reminds us we should not forget, but always remember , so we never let it happen again. The tour guide was great and answered many questions, and said no question was off limits.

The Holocaust is never a pleasant topic, but it is a necessary one, and I'm very glad we have such a fine exhibit here in the North Texas area. While giving an extensive overall review, this exhibit traces the fates of many survivors and their families who immigrated to the D/FW area after the war, and that brings it "home"... More

I don't really care for the whole putting headphones on and listening to a recording of whats going on, which is basically the whole thing, but they have some pictures to look at, and they have cases of different things like pictures of families, money, shoes, etc. What really gave me chills is the train cartridge (is that what I'm...

The general set up of this museum, with unique documents coming from different places in Europe. A very good and clear guideline at the Museum with excellent and clear explanation. A Museum everyone should visit. Only a few steps away from the Kennedy museum.

Take your time, listen to the audio assistive device and look at EVERYTHING. When you really look, you can only begin to imagine the horrors. This is a museum in the making and has plans for expansion. It is staffed by very friendly and knowledgeable people. The memorial room is solemn and reverent. Sit down in the room with the... More

It's not all that big but it leaves a big impression. The end of the line for a lot of people during WWII was not pretty nor pleasant.
