The Museum:
The Holocaust Memorial Museum is in Washington D.C. It contains three floors of artifacts, information and writings from the survivors.
When you visit the Museum your experience is personalized. As you arrive you are given an identification card telling you about one particular person who endured the Holocaust. Along with the Jews, other groups of people were treated badly – prisoners of war, civilians from certain other countries, handicapped people, and citizens who resisted Hitler’s policies. When you reach the end of each floor of the exhibit, you read another page about your person. By the end you find out whether or not they survived. The Holocaust was a very sad event, so there are some graphic photos. Browse at your own risk.
My Experience:
I had a great time at the Holocaust Museum and I liked the identification cards. I highly recommend it to anyone who is ready to learn about such a perilous event in history.

Background Information:
The Holocaust refers to Adolph Hitler’s persecution and murder of the Jewish people during World War II. Hitler attempted to wipe out the entire Jewish race, and he almost succeeded. Approximately 6 million Jews were killed, and the massacre did not stop till Hitler was defeated by the Allied forces.
