Holocaust Museum Houston — Attraction in Houston

I have visited the museum on Saturday 30, 2017. This is just my personal opinion derived from my standpoint. PROS: • Staff will make you feel very welcome are extremely helpful. • Our tour guide was exceptional, she was very professional. • You should not miss the virtual room. • Museum is well oriented and over all with too much respect in memory of victims. • Good complement for educational purposes if you are familiar with the Holocaust history.

FEEDBACK • Not too much people is familiar with this Holocaust theme, and it's obvious that they are visiting this museum to "splash" their knowledge with information about this matter, it will be awesome if it could be more interactive as more detailed. • In regards Holocaust certain things as well as terms, could be explained better because there will be people who (again) doesn’t know anything "unless" the name or fame of Hitler (as an example: like children who just start to get assigned Social Studies at school). • Talking... about children the current location is not a good option for children under 13 years old, I saw several children annoying and bored because there is nothing "child friendly" of that average age, unless the virtual room, who is fascinating and the art exhibition, it will be great if at least Museum may develop some kind of activities for children for feed their knowledge about this theme but always with much respect for the victims.

CONS: • Unfortunately the main museum is closed due renovations and it will not be ready until 2019. • The new location is hard to find due is in the middle of small offices as well business located by Kirby drive. • The building as well as the current space are very small. • To me, the value of the ticket ($12) was very high, I am conscious that is the only museum of holocaust in Houston. But the content, the information, the photos were not enough. If we compared other museums that charge the same amount of money but offer much more. • No photography are allowed in this location. • There is more themes in regards Holocaust that are missing in this exhibition, as example: Hitler's life as well as Hitler's death, Dr. Mengele, expropriation of Jewish's properties, testimony of USA soldiers who helped on the liberation of Jewish community between among other interested themes and facts. • If you are extremely documented with this historical event, this little place is not for you, but without hesitation ... it never hurts to go around and...

One of the best days in my life. Today I got to feel like I belong. "Be someone", with experts such as myself. However they have associates degrees, bachelor's degrees, master's degrees, minor degrees, doctrines, publications, books, proclamations, award's,

Today reminded me of the June 23 2005 gay awards gala at New York City Hall. Except we didn't have wine 🍷🍾🥂 or beer 🍺. But we were mingling, and I felt at home 🏠🏡. With beautiful intelligent 🧠🤓 minds 🤠.

Thinker's, problem solvers, brainstormers, troubleshooters, geniuses, all in the same room. Vulnerable, for the common good of society, our district's, our counties, our city, the museum society. Sharing great discussions, conversations, purchasing books, being eager, excited about positive discerning enthusiastic energy. Influencing, uplifting, encouraging, empowering, inspiring, and this was and is what I do on a daily basis. Checking myself. Houston is home 🏠🏡.

And that very notion might bother people. Might come off as a nuisance, annoying, except if you love 💕 to love and be one hundred percent yourself. Authentic, genuine, with a open minded perspective where actual progress can be made.

To all of the amazing hierarchy, speakers, panelists, authors, teachers, professors, students, educators, facilitators, celebrants, CEOs, president's of small business, big business, thank you for allowing me to accomplish a some goal.

Your museum 🖼️ is a blessing to our Jewish community. To all the survivors, and the people who care about history. Especially those who love Jerusalem. Israel. To all of the sponsors who made this day possible. Especially Jason's deli, Wells Fargo, and all the employees who made our morning possible. Thank you.

I grew up with some awesome Jewish small town family people. And today felt like a big family of farmer's. Enjoying each other's company.

I hope to be invited next year. Jason's deli was an excellent choice for catering.

Mr Greenberg, Mr Steiner, Mr Marin, Mr Bernstein, Mr Wendrow, Mr Vasilis, Mr Lubell, Mrs Haberman, Mrs Briebart, Mr Horowitz, Mr Rubenstein, Mr Spielberg would have loved this event. See...

This museum is amazing and well-organized! It is worth going to. I have attended the one in D.C, though it's been too many years ago for me to compare them.

Our 12 yo son, who's interested in WWII history, wanted to go here.

I recommend the audio tour, which is $3 extra for the paying customers (free for the customers who are admitted for free). Ear buds will fit in the audio box. They are provided for free if you ask for them.

The focus is on the Houston residents who are Holocaust survivors. There are insightful questions, along the way, for us to ponder.

It is a depressing part of history, yet it's important to remember so that it can be prevented from ever happening again. Only three months after Hitler was appointed Chancellor, laws started being passed against the Jews.

It is ironic that the smuggling boat (for liberating Jews) is in front of the railroad car (for transporting Jews to concentration camps and killing centers). You can walk around and through the railroad car while listening to those who described the conditions of being in one; as well as watching a video of the smuggling boat while sitting next to one.

Another part of the exhibit is an interactive video of a Holocaust survivor. When you ask questions, the video answers them as if the man were present. There are thousands of recorded answers.

It's also beneficial to learn how the sole survivors of their families had courage and...
