Was a part of history that some people would like to forget ever happened. This place reminds us we should not forget, but always remember , so we never let it happen again. The tour guide was great and answered many questions, and said no question was off limits.

The Holocaust is never a pleasant topic, but it is a necessary one, and I'm very glad we have such a fine exhibit here in the North Texas area. While giving an extensive overall review, this exhibit traces the fates of many survivors and their families who immigrated to the D/FW area after the war, and that brings it "home"... More

I don't really care for the whole putting headphones on and listening to a recording of whats going on, which is basically the whole thing, but they have some pictures to look at, and they have cases of different things like pictures of families, money, shoes, etc. What really gave me chills is the train cartridge (is that what I'm...

The general set up of this museum, with unique documents coming from different places in Europe. A very good and clear guideline at the Museum with excellent and clear explanation. A Museum everyone should visit. Only a few steps away from the Kennedy museum.

Take your time, listen to the audio assistive device and look at EVERYTHING. When you really look, you can only begin to imagine the horrors. This is a museum in the making and has plans for expansion. It is staffed by very friendly and knowledgeable people. The memorial room is solemn and reverent. Sit down in the room with the... More

It's not all that big but it leaves a big impression. The end of the line for a lot of people during WWII was not pretty nor pleasant.

This museum was very breathtaking. I was sad when I left due to the inhumane way the Jews were treated. I read about the Holocaust, but this museum puts it all into perspective. After you pay, you get a remote to hold up to your ear to listen to a selected display or picture. Each display or picture has a... More

Our family of four appreciated the perspective this museum provided. Our teenager had been studying the Holocaust in school and found many connections to what he had been learning. The size of this museum was perfect as we could each go through at our own pace but not lose one another. Many museums seem to be overwhelming but the concept... More

Given the subject matter, it is hard to say the museum was 'fun', but it was very informative & powerful. As it is on the small side, the museum focuses on 3 separate events that occurred on 1 day during WWII. I had not heard of two of them, so it was really interesting to hear about those lesser-known events.... More

Spending a few days in the Dallas area, we gave each family member input for our itinerary. My 12 year old chose the Dallas Holocaust Museum after reading The Boy in the Striped Pajamas and Corrie Ten Boom's Hiding Place. She loved it and soaked up as much information as her heart and brain could hold. This museum was very... More
