Second day in Washington, D.C. and a museum visit


Since the weather on my second day in DC wasn’t as nice as on the first day, I decided to visit the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Most museums there are free and provide so much interesting information and historical knowledge.
Before you visit the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, you should consider a few things. Take enough time to visit, there are different exhibitions. For the permanent exhibition you have to book free tickets in advance. There can be some waiting time due to strict security control at the entrance.


I visited the Remember the Children, Daniel’s Story exhibition. It’s about a boy who survived the Holocaust. This exhibition is especially for children, though many adults visited it too, his story is told in set up an understandable way for children.



I’ve also went through the Some where neighbors
exhibition. You’ll read about a lot of facts about the Holocaust and will see interviews with survivors who tell their stories, either of people they knew who helped them or betrayed them, of friends who became enemies or held to them, though they risked their lives through doing so.
Still I can’t and won’t ever find the right and appropriate words for this dark part of history. The exhibition was very saddening, stirring and touching.
