US Holocaust Museum

The designer of the Museum building wanted to create an unsual space that would help visitors reflect on their own feelings and experiences. When Holocaust survivors view the skylight in the Hall of Witness where one enters to get into the museum, they think about the sky above the forced labour camps where they worked. For them, the sky was the only thing the Nazis could not control.











One of the many exhibitions at the museum: Remember the Children: Daniel's Story, which tells the story of the Holocaust as witnessed by a Jewish boy named Daniel who lived in Germany.



These are some messages found at the special exhibition titled: State of Deception - the Power of Nazi Propaganda. This gallery shows how the Nazi Party used propaganda to gain political power and to justify and garner support war and the Holocaust.
