If you want to learn about Jewish heritage and the Holocaust, this is an excellent museum. You can easily spend a few hours reading and viewing a lot of history. Once you get out of the museum, there is a great view of NYC.

A sobering exhibit of the roots of antisemitism and especially the Shoah(the Holocaust). The Cafe Bergson on the 2nd floor offered tasty bagel sandwiches and pastry. I recommend the bialy and pastrami lox sandwich. On the third floor, We then went to the Denmark rescue mission during the Nazi occupation. Family friendly illustrations, oral history , artifacts, shadow pupetry and holographic image tell the story of the conditions as they worsened for the Jews. The rescue mission by boats to Sweden is told with a model of the Gerda III and creative use of shadow, light images and narration. Impressive!

It's an amazing place to see, but not for the faint of heart!! It is a true life depiction of life as a Jew and details the true stories, the personal items, their clothing, concentration camp uniforms, and lives of Jews before, during, and after the Holocaust!! I think every human on earth should visit, spend a day seeing the Hell, Hitler created for the Jews!! Around every corner is another account experienced by another human being. Every section has videos, some interactive holographic characters telling short stories of daily life!!
