My teenage son and I visited this museum at the last minute when our plans changed for the day. What a great decision it turned out to be! This museum was fantastic! It's not huge, so we were able to see it all in a couple of hours. Very enjoyable and highly recommended! It's also free so it's a great... More

One would hope that any visit to a museum would result in a serious learning experience. We hope for at least one or two "take aways" from each such visit. After our second visit to the Virginia Holocaust Museum recently, we know this to be true: you can learn a lot here and the place is serious, deadly serious. The... More

this was an intimate story of how a family survived this terrible event....it is very personalized and in depth...you not only walk through the cremation room the box car and the tunnel where they crawled in as well as where they hid but you also get to meet the man whose story this is about...it is very well planned and...

This is a great place. It isn't slick but the experience it gives you is heartfelt. Well worth the trip. I took my niece because I think it is important that kids understand this event in history. I went a second time with a friend. Enjoyed it both times. More

I have been to the Holocaust museums in Washington DC and Los Angeles. They don't hold a candle to this one. The exhibits were compelling, to say the least. An absolute must see if you are in Richmond. More

I went with my son's class on a field trip here, and I couldn't believe how great it is because I never hear too much about it, even though I live not too far away. Bottoms Up Pizza is a great place to eat nearby. More
