Lessons to be learned
Nov. 2022
We visit Holocaust Museum in every city we visit. This one clearly was put together with care and with love. There's always so much to learn and to keep us on our toes when we say "Nevr again"!!

Really liked the experience and see how the story is told. It may seem small at first but there is a lot to see, archive, videos, it’s a great learning experience for all ages.

Worth the visit for sure
Mar. 2022
I booked a ticket without any kind of expectation. The time adviced for a visit was one hour and half (due to covid) but I had the chance to skip this rule.
What can you see during this gap of time ? Just a third of the museum! Even if I have a good "knowledge" on the topic, I discovered more and I was glad to visit the place, where I stayed 3 houres (could stay more if I wasn't that exausted). Don't understand how people can just stay one damed hour and half.

Tells the Story in a Different Way
Jul. 2020
After having been to Auschwitz and the Washington DC Holocaust memorials, institutions that ( rightly) overwhelm a person with the horror and sorrow of the magnitude of the event that was the Holocaust, this small museum does an excellent job of illustrating that each persons experience during that terrible time was a unique story worthy of being told. From the small, sometimes everyday, items donated by survivors, stories are told that cannot help but bring a few tears to one’s eyes, but not only sad stories; happy and uplifting ones as well.

I visited during the Covid pandemic period; the museum is small so social distancing is not easy, however the museum has developed excellent safety practices which made me very comfortable during the visit. To control the volume of visitors, staff did tell everyone to respect the 1.5 hours visit limit. Personally, I would have ideally had a bit more time than the 1.5 hrs, allotted so use your time wisely while you are there.In particular, I recommend downloading the museum app, which with headphones allows you to access well produced commentary on the various exhibits. There are audio visual exhibits on display as well (primarily it seems interviews on TV monotors with survivors) but I found these went on longer than I wanted, especially given the 1.5 hr time limit, so after listening to one or two, I skipped them for the rest of my visit. I found the app descriptions to be much more affecting in any event.

A must see exhibit.

I wasn’t expecting such a museum here. And I was not expected to be moved quite as much as I was. This is a must see museum. It would also make the perfect gloomy wet weather day activity to had in the sidelines.

We are glad to made the extra tip to visit this Memorial Centre.
It was very emotional, interesting and touching. There are lots of artefacts and real life memories to take you back to the horrors of what Jews and various other people experienced. The way the museum is set up is clear and engaging.
It didn't take us too long to explore, around 2 hours should be fine.

This is a museum that had been on my list for a long time. I found the whole museum to be excellent. There was much that was expected but the attitude of Canada towards Jewish refugees during WW2 was a shock.

Anyway, make time to go and when you are there take your time too. The museum is as relevant today as it has ever been.

Great Musuem

Having been to a number of Holocaust museums, I like that this one focuses on the Canadian response, and also on the life of survivors after the War.
