Personal Narrative: My Visit To The Holocaust Museum

I went to the Holocaust museum on Sunday May 21st. The museum is located on Orchard Lake Rd. in Farmington. My mother went with me to the museum. We decided to go on our own instead of doing a guided tour.
At the front of the museum they had several displays of religious function, as well as a display of what the original Tanakh would have looked like. The Tanakh is the religious writing for judaism, like the Bible for Christianity. They had several other exhibits, most of them talked about the war, or how the Jewish people were miss treating in the concentration camps. The most interesting part of the museum for me was the exp bit that talked about what was really going in in the concentration camps, with all the deaths and they placed
the exhibit in a very dark hallway. As I walk down the hallway looking at all the screens giving me information, there was a flame at the end of the hall.I thought it represented the burning of the bodies, which was what some of the screens were talking about. From the whole experience I found that there is a lot more to the Jewish culture than originally thought. I was also really surprised how far the Jewish refugees were spread out after the war, the museum had a map on the floor showing where most of them went as well as how many went to each region.
