Dallas förintelse- och människorättsmuseum

I found myself especially moved by the Human Rights section of the museum. Many people have not heard of the many atrocities being committed all over the world today. I especially enjoyed being able to "talk" with the hologram of an Auschwitz survivor. I saw it on television but never thought I can do it too!

I’ve been here before and went specifically to see The Walt Disney Studios and World War II exhibit. I enjoyed the Disney exhibit and it was very educational. I had no idea about Disney’s role in the war efforts. There was a lot of reading and plenty of videos so make sure you allow enough time if you do the special exhibit. I decided to go through the museum again while I was there. The museum is very well done and does a very good job at portraying one of the most horrific periods in history. A highlight is definitely the Dimensions in Testimony Theater. You need to get tickets for this when you check in at the ticket desk – the tickets are included with your admission. You get to hear one of the Holocaust survivor’s story and then you see a hologram of the person while you can ask questions and they respond to your question. It’s like they are in the room with you even though it’s been pre-recorded. It’s very impressive and a must do while you are there!

Such a thorough, educational and fascinating experience. Recommend highly. A treasure in the Dallas landscape of offerings.

I liked the few artifacts they had, especially the boxcar. It would be nice to even have reproductions of more artifacts or even a reproduction of the camp quarters. The volunteers gave some good information. They were very helpful. There is a lot of information and way too much to read. If I had read everything, it would take me 4 hours to get through it all. Also, when we were leaving, a huge high school group was coming in that I didn’t know about. It became crowded and noisy. Thank goodness we had already been through the exhibit. When booking, the museum should be able to tell you if a large crowd or school group will be visiting that day. I would have not liked to go through the exhibit with a bunch of teenagers.

This exhibit was extremely heavy, very informative and amazing. I don’t think it’s for children, but I brought my 18-year-old son and he liked it. It very heavy and depressing but it’s something that everyone should see and not forget. I felt like this was a really well done exhibit. And I highly recommend going.

There is alot of reading and it is veery sad and emotional experience. I would give yourself at least 2.5 hours.

I genuinely encourage you to go! It will be an experience you won't forget, one that will stay with you forever. The resilience of the Jewish people is truly inspiring—they have faced many challenges and always prove their strength, emerging even stronger each time.

I have not had a better museum experience for a long, long time. And this is thanks to one man – the wonderful Docent who was in the third-floor gallery. I forgot to ask for his name at the time, but the receptionist said his name was Mr Dougal. That is not to say the museum is itself brilliant. It is. In the first twenty minutes of browsing before I met Mr Dougal, I enjoyed the museum much more than I had the 6th-floor museum, which I had previously been to (and in itself is excellent). But the tour, the depth of information, the care Mr Dougal showed for the Holocaust, and the exhibit he was posted in were unparalleled among most of the museums I have visited in my life. He led a free, two-hour-long tour of the gallery: for each panel and each graph, he had additional information that contributed to the story the museum is trying to tell about the Holocaust. I could not have asked for a better afternoon, and I learnt more than I thought I could have (despite knowing a relatively good amount about the Holocaust beforehand). Thank you, Mr Dougal, Truly. I hope the reception has gotten your name correct. And I hope someone passes this review on to you, as you made my day. (As for the museum itself, it was not too busy when I visited on a Sunday afternoon, the atmosphere was heavy (of course it has to be, given the subject matter), but the content is rich, and it matches any museum around the world. Would 100% recommend.

The Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum walks us through stories of the Holocaust, with information and thought provoking exhibits. Everyone needs to visit. They also continue by highlighting human and civil rights in America. Was very encouraged to see parents and young children, older visitors and everyone in between.

We were looking forward to learning more at this museum. I have never seen less educated and uninformed staff at a museum. Not one person gave us helpful tips or answered questions, even when the general information we were looking for was right in the pamphlet they handed us when we entered . They couldn’t give us any more details about the summary. The hologram was great and worth the visit. The flow of the exhibit was confusing and difficult to follow.
