The World Museum And The Maritime Museum

The stories about Adolf Hitler, the Nazis, and the Holocaust have become just like any ordinary story narrating events in the history. For many Jews, the Holocaust was a horrendous experience yet over time, the emotional reactions on the narrated stories of what happened in such brutality in past has gradually declined in intensity. The rage, the hate, the fear, and the sorrows that go with educational reading the events are no longer striking yet a visit at United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC stirs a different kind of emotion. The museum exhibits seem to take the visitors back to the past days and feel the fear, pains, and sufferings of the Holocaust victims while reviving the feelings of hatred to the barbaric Hitler and the Nazi soldiers and followers.

In this book, the author describes the long process it takes to create a national museum that will commemorate the Holocaust. He covers issues such as, the location of it, the design and construction aspects of the museum building. He informs readers about how they’ve tried to represent the Holocaust through the museum with sensitivity. I will use specific facts from this book to show that this museum was built with the help of many and required a lot of thought into it. I will show that this museum does in fact show sensitivity to an individual.

The Holocaust in the eyes of historians all across the country reiterate the importance of the Holocaust. As the first mass genocide so major in a group of people, it’s relevance continues to make a stand. Taking place in 1933 all the way until 1945, the Holocaust changed so much in so little time. Amass, 5-6 million jewish people dying from either being worked to death for taken to gas chambers and killed quietly. Though nothing about the Holocaust was quiet, as it’s name and hitler's wishes were spread across germany in its time of need. An event short enough to be considered just a blip, tacts itself up as one the largest genocides in history. It begs the question among educators and parents alike, whether schools should be teaching the Holocaust. But, the Holocaust is something that cannot be left untaught. The Holocaust should be vocalized to students because they have a right to an education and because it boosts their understanding of society and forms them into better civilians. Also because the side effects of bias in classrooms

I feel extreme remorse for the Jews. I saw the concentration camp images , videos before hitler took over , and watched scenes of the people who survived the camps. I also took photos inside and outside the museum. For the most part what I got from this visit was that the Jews were killed in large numbers and treated poorly. After the visit I made a power point explaining what exactly we saw which were large mass killings aka (genocide). The stories I learned and images/videos I saw reminded me of the constant struggle we have in today's society. We as a nation need to stop injustice , unlawful , and prejudice hatred for one another. At the end of the day we are all human and deserve the right to be treated fairly wherever in this

The museum representatives were very nice and helpful. Entering the Charles H. Wright museum, my fiance and I were stopped by a cameraman who worked at the museum. The cameraman was very welcoming, encouraging, and persistent. Entering the D.I.A, the representatives at the desk were very respectful and understanding. Admission was free to the D.I.A for all Wayne County residents; however; I forgot my state I.D at home and the lady was kind enough to accept an old check stub as proof that I resided in Wayne County. Both museums were very clean and quiet, with the exception of the kids who were enjoying the moment. Comparing the two, my most favorite exhibit would have had to be the slave ship I mentioned at the Charles H. Wright museum. The slave ship is more than an exhibit, it’s like two minutes in a slave’s shoes. Walking through the dark ship, I could slightly imagine and empathize the life of slaves on that ship. My least favorite thing was a picture that I’ve attached to the essay. The picture is of a black slave beating another slave while the Master’s watched. Though the image may represent the truth, I’m not a big fan of ugly truths - especially when they don’t compare to the bigger

The Dallas Holocaust Museum is the the heart of downtown Dallas and is tucked away on a busy downtown street. This was my first time visiting the museum and it was an amazing experience. The tour started off with a pillar representation of the number of Jews killed during the twelve-year time period known as the Holocaust. I was unaware of the fact that eighty-percent of the Jews killed during the Holocaust happened in the year 1942. The tour opened my eyes to more of the personal accounts instead of just the vast number of deaths during this genocide.

The Museum of Tolerance was an awesome experience for me and for all the 8th graders. We learned about the children of the holocaust , the Anne frank exhibit , and about WWll. I really like the part where there were words and it made Anne's face and she was facing the Hollywood hills and I learned that she wanted to be an actor and wanted to go to Hollywood. The most memorable parts was when we went into the gas chamber. It was just an unbelievable sensation it gave me the chills being in there and seeing that dark grey room. One of the less well know children of the holocaust was Monia Levisnski from Lithuania. I got her as I my kid when they gave us little cards. Sadly he died along with 1.5 million other children. So that is just some of the things we saw at the Museum of Tolerance, a very inspirational

I personally love looking at museums and learning about past history. Looking at this website regarding the Jim Crow Museum, I feel that this museum provides a plethora of items and exhibits to provide the onlooker with accurate information about what occurred to blacks throughout history. This was a horrible time in history when blacks were not seen as equals and were not given many rights, if any. With that being said, I feel that some of the exhibits and items in this museum might provide “mixed feelings” to those who lived through this time in history and/or those whose ancestors did.

The Holocaust Memorial Center Zekelman Family Campus is about the horrendous events such as hate crimes that were happening during World War II. The definition of Holocaust from the museum website perspective is “The Holocaust was the systematic, bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of approximately six million Jews and five million other persons by the Nazi regime and its collaborators” (Holocaust and Survivor Defined.). “The term Holocaust comes from the Greek words of “holos” (whole) and “kaustos” (burn) which was used to describe a sacrificial offering burned on an alter” (History.com). The museum has been around for more than 25 years, in Farmington Hills and has been acknowledged by the Wall Street Journal. The museum does not only reflect on the evil, but also the strength and the courage of the victims affected in this genocide. The purpose of the Holocaust museum is to remember those who have passed away and survived, as well as, to teach and inform others about the events. There were many exhibits to choose from such as, the Jewish heritage, the descent into Nazism and the postwar period. The exhibit I will be focusing on is called, The Camp System.

In the Anne Frank exhibit they show you different artifacts collected after the end of the Holocaust. Such as a copy of her diary, letters to and from her pen pal, baby pictures, etc. Besides the information and artifacts in front of you, there's a wall that catches your eye. It's a wall covered with bright articles of clothing, but as you continue walking the clothing gradually becomes darker. You can even see a few uniforms that prisoners wore in concentration camps. These articles of clothing represent the children murdered during World War 2. Topics like these, victims of genocide, are better learned about in person. Seeing a video or things that a child owned during a horrific time is more personal and powerful than reading about it in a

First of all, young children, especially Jewish children, should learn about the unpleasant events that occurred in the past. “The Holocaust illustrates the consequences of prejudice, racism and stereotyping on a society. It forces us to examine the responsibilities of citizenship and confront the powerful ramifications of indifference and inaction.” says Tim Holden, a former U.S. Representative. Children need to know that what the Nazi’s did was wrong and disturbing, and teaching students about this subject will teach to not repeat the past, to not reiterate such a horrible occurrence.

Despite these challenges it’s important recognize the vast improvements and efforts teachers all over Germany are making to better educate their students about the Holocaust. For example, teachers help to foster empathy and personalize the Holocaust through the reading and analysis of contemporary Holocaust literature and non-fiction (e.g. writings by Primo Levi, Imre Kertescz, and Günter Grass). These works serve to not only represent he victims of the Holocaust but also the bystanders, perpetrators, and their descendants which help to communicate the German guilt that is so often left out of public discourse. Additionally, many teachers use artwork by Holocaust victims to allow students to visualize the suffferings endured during the Holocaust and raise questions of what the artists were trying to convey through the art (Holocaust Task Force). More interactive components have be incorporated into modern Holocaust education such as visits to former concentration camps and guest speakers who were often Holocaust survivors or community members alive during WWII. Through these approaches teachers are providing not only

The one thing that I wish they would implement to their museum to make it more interesting is to add more Holocaustic casted models. I got this idea by visiting the African American museum. And what set them apart was that they had a whole set of statue models on display to place a person in that mindset of being there. If the Holocaust museum would issue more life-like cast, then I think people will feel more engaged in the tour. In the African American museum, I remember the faces on the life-like models. The faces with looks of confusions, fear, and sometimes happiness. I think by adding this would bring a whole new element to the Holocaust museum. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the opportunity. I do plan on returning in the near future. Maybe not to that museum in particular, but a more official museum like the ones in Germany. I plan on traveling across the world one day, and visiting the Holocaust museum in Aw>>> is defiantly on my

Imagine walking through a hallway of pictures and artifacts, feeling so much emotion, reliving the past of the Holocaust. Once a person walks through those doors to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum he or she immediately feel those emotions pouring from the walls and flooding from the visitors all around feeling what it once felt like to be apart of the Holocaust and witness such a horrendous tragedy. Because the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum provides many exhibitions and visuals for visitors, it really gives a person a vivid view into what the Holocaust was truly like.

The Museum of Tolerance is a place that not only is a home to a memoriam of the Holocaust but it also tries to break the barriers of racism, prejudices, and discrimination and tries to teach and incorporate in people that even though everyone is different, everyone shares a universal attribute, that each person around the world no matter their race, gender, country of origin, or choice of religion still bleeds red, feels pain and are human beings. As soon as people realize this fact and accept that no one set of people are better than the other, places like The Museum of Tolerance will not be needed but till then we need to remember what hatred, prejudices, discrimination and the inability to accept people for who they are has and can do
