I am Jewish and visited this museum on my trip to New York City. It is strategically located on the path from the attractions in Lower Manhattan to the ferries to the Statue of Liberty etc., so it was natural to visit this place. Honestly it's a nice museum—very well kept, with thematic rooms and in general a coherent and... More

My girlfriend and I visited the Museum while on a short holiday to NYC. We both found it very interesting. The displays and information are very good with clear detailed explanations for everything. To think that less than a couple of generations ago, a nation was able to be brainwashed to believe Jews were no better than animals is very... More

This museum does a wonderful job of describing Jewish life and thought before, during and after the Holocaust. The most compelling part of the museum was the second floor, describing the events and German propaganda leading up to the Holocaust, as well as video testimonials both from survivors of the Holocaust and people who risked their lives trying to save...

I visited on a Friday afternoon in May and, although there were other people visiting, I... More

Last weekend, we visited NYC. I was disappointed that the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island were still closed. As we meandered around Battery Park, we came upon the Museum of Jewish Heritage. What a gem. The building is spacious, immaculate, and well organized. The exhibits showcase the multiple layers of Jewish culture and thought in the 20th and 21st... More

I liked the museum because it is in such a significant location to document Jeeish history in the United States overlooking Ellis Island where almost all of us entered. The view of the statute of liberty from the third floor is amazing an there is a comfortable place to sit and contemplate. I especially enjoye the special exhibit of photography... More
