Words don't adequetely capture how impressive our visit was
Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center的点评
点评:Visited this location with my teenage daughter on a weekday afternoon during her winter break from school. Museum had a special deal for free admission for students, so we took advantage of the discount. However, even if we didn't, prices are reasonable considering just how much this museum offers.
The permanent exhibit on the main floor is both extensive and impressive. They provide a comprehensive review of the holocaust, which starts with the a brief review of Jewish history before getting into the details of the build up to the holocaust. Most of the museum walkthrough does a really great job of moving things forward in a logical and mostly chronological fashion, so that one can see how things progressed and why. Ultimately ends with post-WWII view and how the holocaust affected things afterward. We spent a couple hours touring the main exhibit, and we could have definitely spent another hour or two to more thoroughly view and review all of the artifacts and details that they present.
We also spent another couple of hour viewing other aspects of the museum (beyond the main exhibit). We attended their interactive hologram presentation with a holocaust survivor, Fritzie Fritzshall. Presentation and interaction was both informative and very moving. We also briefly walked through some of the more temporary exhibits and took a few moments in the Hall of Reflections to truly appreciate everything we'd seen.

主层的永久展览既广泛又令人印象深刻。他们对大屠杀进行了全面的回顾,首先简要回顾了犹太历史,然后详细介绍了大屠杀的细节。博物馆的大部分演练都非常出色地以逻辑且主要按时间顺序的方式推动事情向前发展,这样人们就可以看到事情是如何进展的以及为什么进展。最终以二战后的观点以及大屠杀如何影响后来的事情结束。我们花了几个小时参观了主要展览,我们绝对可以再花一两个小时来更彻底地查看和审查它们呈现的所有文物和细节。
我们还花了几个小时参观博物馆的其他方面(除了主要展览之外)。我们与大屠杀幸存者弗里茨·弗里茨霍尔 (Fritzie Fritzshall) 一起参加了他们的互动全息图演示。演示和互动既内容丰富又非常感人。我们还简单地参观了一些临时展览,并在反思厅花了一些时间来真正欣赏我们所看到的一切。
