Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center — Attraction in City of Glen Cove

I really shouldn't be giving a holocaust museum an adequate review but my experience was less than ideal, beginning with the person at the front desk who weirdly said "Enjoy" after taking my payment. I thought there would be more artifacts displayed rather than photos with captions. The slides where you had to read the text advanced way too fast; I had to wait for the slides to come around again to read them, and then gave up trying. The audio for the 4 videos could not be heard. The exhibit about the children of the Holocaust was blocked by carts, and my experience was interrupted by what seemed to be student volunteers moving carts around me and talking.

The staff at the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center work very hard. They are dedicated to helping people learn more about the Holocaust and what led to the Holocaust happening.

I didn't go inside the building, but the children's garden/ the garden itself was phenomenal. Highly recommend to anyone and everyone.

So many butterflies and rabbits, highly recommend.
