Holocaust Museum

Our previous visit to Washington DC had been more than 20 years earlier, at a time when a building was just going up in remembrance of the Holocaust. I recall driving past the building site right along the National Mall, so I went online weeks before the trip to secure timed tickets to see the powerful permanent exhibit.

The two-to-three hour trip through the exhibit was a multi-media experience to recall the pre-war beginning, the full-scale wartime activity, and the post-war developments. Much of the exhibit is a no-photograph zone, but here we see the exterior of the building and the quiet, solemn Hall of Remembrance. The best part of the experience will be in the next post.
