Virginia Holocaust Museum

Very Humbling experience. I enjoy many things about history always intrigued by the past events. I read books and seen documentaries on the holocaust, however, this museum had real life pictures and recreations of the horror they lived. Some were real as the were sent from Germany. It has always sadden me the way the Jewish were mistreated(which is putting it mildly), the thing that hit me hardest were the children who were shown no mercy, they too were starved and put to the same labor. There were some drawings the children did, and they drawn what they seen, Death, murder. Our children draw a house, a tree, their families, but this is not what these child saw or drawn. Whether you`re a fan of history of not, its a must see. Its free to get in and free parking!!

I haven't been to any other Holocaust museums before, but this one was very informative. The location in Shockoe makes it easy to check out on a day of other touristy activities. The museum works off of a donation model, but is technically free.
