Múzeum holokaustu v Seredi — Attraction in Sereď

This museum is so much needed in Slovakia. It belongs to a part of its history that is shameful but needed to know. the display of the information is really wellmade and thought. I particularly liked the contextualization of the whole conflict, including Nuremberg trials, Eichman trial in Israel, The Wannsee Conference etc. I also liked a lot the reconstruction of the workshops in one of the barraks, with photographies that shows you how real the recreation is.
