Holocaust Museum Report
The museum I chose to visit for my project was the Holocaust museum. My visit there was so far peaceful and reflective. The museum serves to not only remind the visitors about the victims of Holocaust but to also teach and explain to them what went on during that event. My experience turned out to be memorable but I wasn’t pulled in as I thought I it would be.
The structure of the holocaust museum disappointed me. It was very small and looked lonely compared to the other vibrant museums. I wasn’t even aware that my friends and I were near the museum until we had approached the very last stop sign. When I gave my first glance, the museum sort of looked like an administrative building. Its structure and exterior designs looked dull and boring. Its walls were colored grey and the building entirely lacked positive features. I was gravely bothered and

To be honest, while examining and reading the stories and information, it led me into the state of boredom. Majority of the time I wasn’t intrigued to read all words off the panel. The museum would be better if it was to add more interactive exhibits and artistic gallery that will give us more an emotional understanding about the holocaust. That change will certainly spark more connection between the visitor and the holocaust event.
In conclusion, I did like the holocaust museum but I didn’t enjoy it. It wasn’t as interactive as I thought it would be. The holocaust isn’t anything new and has been repeatedly mention all thought my school years. There weren’t a lot of interesting fact I read off of the exhibits. The things that I did like were the stories about concentration camps and the interior structure of the museum. I would recommend it to any of my friends for the very same reason; it’s not interesting but it’s resourceful. The outcome of Holocaust museum trip had given me more respect to the holocaust survivors and

    Visiting the Newark Museum was new to me; I have gone to the museum of art in New York, but I never really found any interest in art itself, until now. Because of this Art appreciation class, I was able to criticize some of the paintings hanging on the wall, and the way everything was set up. It was very interesting to see the quality of some of the art work that I passed by. The most wonderful collection of art that I found to be the most interesting one is the African collection.…

    I highly recommend this book; not only is it well-written, but it is a sublime memoir. It informs of the Holocaust and gives you a different (but better) perspective on the horrid event. It is much better than any history book. I wouldn't say the book is life-changing, but it has definitely impacted me and changed my way of thinking.…

    To me the Anne Frank exhibit stood out more because I felt as if I was seeing Anne's life more clearly. In addition, all of the Anne Frank films were very powerful because they were very comprehensible. The Anne Frank exhibit isn't only an exhibit,it teaches people about a young girl's life and how she survived three years in hiding. Also, I really liked The Museum of Tolerance because the gas chamber was a very powerful experience. I liked seeing how the gas chamber was very similar to how the Jews were experiencing that .To conclude, I am very thankful to have had the chance to go to The Museum of Tolerance because I learned so much and I felt in a way connected to Anne's life a bit…

    Dbq Monument Analysis

    • 705 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Too small of a monument tends to not do justice for the grand nature of an individual or event while too massive of a monument can also cause detrimental effects to the central purpose of a monument: to remember an important figure. The Holocaust Museum, which is located in the National Mall, has stirred controversy with the possible renderings of the monument. When analyzing these sketches, the members of the Fine Arts Commission felt that “the massive building would overcome the Mall” (Source E). When an individual creates a monument too large, it can intimidate visitors to go and observe the piece of remembrance and distract them from the initial purpose of honoring the person or event in the first place. In addition, too large of a monument, such as The Holocaust Museum, can take away the efficiency of the surrounding community as the monument attracts many visitors. The monument, which was supposed to be a peaceful sight of solitude has now become a curse for the nearby citizens and tourists. Size is very necessary to consider when engendering an article of…

    I did feel that the artifacts, although interesting and important, were very repetitive, not to say that they are not helpful, but I would have liked to see a wider variety of artifacts. The Strengths I noticed in the exhibit were the information included with each piece of item. I felt like this was very useful in understanding, who, what, when, where, why, and what happened to them after the fact of the war. The new piece of information that I acquired, was that at one point in the War, Germany attempted mass genocide on Turkey, I had never heard this piece of information and it makes sense to me now that they had one of the higher death tolls than the other nations involved. I agree with the way the museum is set up for this exhibit. There is plenty of primary sources and information given throughout the exhibit that anyone could learn something new walking through…

    I really enjoyed the book, because I think learning about the holocaust is very interesting, especially learning from the experiences of an actual survivor. A strength of the book was that it had good details of her experiences. A weakness of the book was that it went too fast at some parts, and the book was very short. I learned that Blima was a very strong person. It is important to know about Blima, because we can learn from her about how to be strong in tough…

    Six million Jews were killed by the Nazi administration and their collaborator is what I already know about the Holocaust before visited it last Thursday. The History of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum located on 100 Raoul Wallenberg PI SW, Washington, DC 20024, as I got the address from their website. I got lost, however, the experience was totally worth it. Their hour that day was 10a.m until 5:15p.m. The only place that required ticket is Permanent Exhibit, other than that the museum open for everyone and there is no fee to enter. I thought visiting during the weekday would help with the crow but it still so crowed. The elevator is always full. There is no parking spot. These two things are probably the reasons why I gave it…

    My grandparents were both in Auschwitz and barely managed to survive, loosing almost all of their relatives and family members. Overall in the Jewish community, the Holocaust is told through a purposive narrative as well, meaning it is taught and talked about to an almost excessive manner. It is most widely recognized through the story of Anne Frank; through her personal journey and experiences, people are able to connect with the violence on a deeper level after having seen a young girl experience it, thereby generating a sense of empathy from those who fail to be able to fathom the occurrence. Another example of this can be found within multiple museums in the United States, Israel, and Germany that display shoes of victims, their names and pictures, as well as the saying "Never Forget." By creating such a strong narrative about the atrocities of the genocide, it attempts at mourning for the lost while projecting a bright hope for the future in the belief that people will never forget what happened, therefore never allowing it to occur again. Israel can be seen as the homeland that all Jews strive to visit or live, which is a supportive structure as depicted in the purposive narrative by Skultans. “Making habitable memories out of inhabitable truths” (Warren Lecture…

    The Holocaust museum was very beautiful. It had many artifacts on life in general of the Jewish, but toward the end of the museum it focused more on the Holocaust. I found the museum as a whole interesting, but since I went in wanting to learn more about the Holocaust, this was the most interesting part to me. I didn’t realize how quickly things escalated when Hitler became chancellor of Germany. I learned that in the Spring of 1993, Nazis had taken over radio broadcasts and the Jewish people were subjected to sustain abuse and attack. I could not wrap my head around how cruel things turned so fast for the people in Germany. Sarah and I continued to walk through the museum and we got to a part the was a dark hall. As we walked in, there were…

    The Holocaust remains an incident that teaches people how to be accepting of others and what can com from a judgemental point of view. Learning about the Holocaust and of the resistance efforts made during this time teaches young people how the dehumanization of others is wrong. Studying the Holocaust also gives students ideas of how to prevent incidents like this from occurring at all. Overall, the Holocaust was a terrible incident that killed millions of people. This incident is not one that should be taken lightly. However, the Holocaust is not an event that should leave people in a state of mourning, but rather a piece of history that can teach new generations how to live and how to be accepting of others. Hopefully, people learn to look at the Holocaust of something that happened once and should never happen again. The Holocaust is a tragedy that will forever remain an unforgettable period in…

    The museum has always been found as a viable source of accurate information regarding history. So in today’s media rich society most people who are really curious about learning about Egypt would rather visit the museum rather than pick up a book on Egyptology and read it. The museum is a good place to start for people to go and observe visually what is left of Ancient Egypt. And these exhibits help to construct an idea of what this Ancient civilization was truly like compared to the entertainment industries depiction of it. This act of going to the museum to fulfill ones curiosity on the subject is just one way the museum…

    The outside architecture of the museum says it all. It was built really for a special reason. And that reason is to be a home to our country’s most phenomenal items like paintings made by our national artists, fossils of our great ancestors and many more. And as I tour the inside of it, the more I understand things my MAKABAYAN, SIBIKA, A.P. and HISTORY teachers are saying. It really helps a lot in my understanding. It’s like coming alive from our books. In here you can see it more closely and you can really appreciate it. Unlike in our books, it’s really boring. Now I understand why many of us think that History is a boring subject. You really need to visit what our books and teachers are talking about. It really changed my perception about History Subject. Now I have more appreciation for museums. I also like the cleanliness of the museum. It adds on the beauty of the museum. Also the staff was dedicated and nice. I also enjoyed touring because of the airconditioning of the museum. It was not cheap. But I noticed that there are empty rooms. I also noticed a good thing that there were renovations being made. I hope the government does not forget to give importance to our national museum. But one thing I do not like is the cost of the museum. It’s too much for a museum. I think it should be free for all, so that everybody can appreciate it. But to end up my reaction paper, I’m really glad to see the inside of the national museum. Not only my perception changed but also it’s a great learning experience for me.…
