Candles Holocaust Museum and Education Center — Attraction in Terre Haute

They had a fire, so the exhibits are scarce . The written explanations are brief and seem to slant towards forgiveness. It did bothered me because I know forgiveness and justice are linked. I have difficulty writing that because I am not a Holocaust survivor, but have only been through personal trauma, and do not wish to.diminish Eva's perspective. So, if you have been through anything traumatic, just be careful if you go through that part of the museum. The second part of the museum is why this is worth the drive. There is a hologram of an older gentleman to whom you can ask questions. If I recall, he answers over 900 questions. Once I worked past the strangeness of talking to an image, I only wished I could have shaken the man's hand and told him how much I appreciated his words. It was an amazing and wonderful experience; one that should not be missed. I found the staff to be polite at first, but they became very political very quickly. They did not hide their disgust of Donald Trump nor were their comments discrete about how the Eva supported him. My husband and I found their comments rude and unprofessional.

Great museum! Loved the information that we got. Even though it was policed by them not by myself the parent what my child could learn. Docent was very informative and passionate. No where on any site did it say admission was only for an hour. Was disappointed as we drove from Indy and was rushed out before even finishing the second room. The lady at the front cut off the docent mid story and barely allowed to take a picture in the room due to time when we didn't necessarily opt for a guided tour but got one anyways from the docent (who again was lovely, we did enjoy her stories). Was not really left alone to peruse by ourselves again resulting in missed part of the museum by time end which was weird for a museum. Make sure you have plans on top of the museum, as I'm not sure I would have came for a rushed tour with a 3 hr round trip. Overall a lot was left to be desired by experience. Daughter left frustrated that they refused to answer questions and only stated that she was too young to understand concepts she had knowledge of prior to coming to the museum. Wish we could have walked around by ourselves so I could explain it myself to her. Would have more pictures to post if they let...
