Best Museum in Canada

M	Michael Koedderitzsch on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Not the biggest museum but full of information and stories. You can spend many hours here. Beautifully done and incredibly moving. One of the better museums on the subject.
P	Prince Ph on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful museum. History is well explained with both french and English signs.
M	Mutya on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Its smaller than what I expected. Be prepared to do lots of reading. Make sure you have at least 1.5 hours to read and listen to some videos of holocaust survivors internviews. Its informative but I just expected more. My family have good handle with this part of history so for us its not worth it to visit this museum as we already knew most of what we read.
T	Thebabydoc on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We try to visit Holocaust museums in every city we travel to. NY and Washington DC are far and away the best. Montreal has an enormous Jewish community with many Holocaust survivors. This museum, although small, gave a really personal view of the life of Jews during that horrific decade. The iPad tour was incredibly concise and packed with information. A 'must see.'
M	Marc-Andre Montreuil on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Small museum inside the Jewish library in Montréal. Very interesting exhibits. If you happen to go on a Sunday, it's free and you might see a survivor, that will explain what happened to him.
J	Jia on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Don't come here in a rush, the story needs time to be told.. There are two levels and you might want to spend a bit more time on a second, although it has a very sad atmosphere. Great thing is: it is open until 21:00, when all other museums are long closed, so you can come here in the evening taking a metro and walking a couple of minutes from the station. I would suggest to spend 2 hours in this place, there is a lot to see, hear, read.. and then maybe just sit a bit and absorb.
A	Achyut Adhhikari on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is the best place to learn about Jewish history, culture and specially the inhuman behaviour that Jewish people faced during Hitler years. I came to know why Jewish elderly people don’t wanna take shower in the bathroom. I learned why peoples in Jewish culture seems so religious to wash their hands before and after meal. I strongly recommend this museum to visit for anyone interested to know everything about the Jewish.
j	juan balandra on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Note: The Museum is closed on Saturday. It was a great learning experience. The video interviews gave it a human perspective. I learned that the Warsaw Ghetto was not the only one. There were many ghettos all over Europe. So many people died from hunger and sickness. I gain a new understanding about the suffering of those brave people. Also about how evil was the Third Reich.
