In his midnight millennium speech, Pope John Paul said the most defining elements of the 20th century were the rise and fall of two oppressive ideologies that victimized millions of people, Communism and Nazism. This museum is a tribute to the victims of the Nazi concentration camps during World War II. Through changing exhibits, films and lectures, it seeks to inform future generations of the racism of the holocaust and the horrifying results of hatred. In addition to exhibits, there is a library, theater and document archives.

tripadvisorGreat museum! Well laid out and each subject had clear information. Beautiful building. I did the audio guide for 4.00 and it was well worth it
MoreThere were a lot of interesting videos of survivors. They were several pictures and stories. I am not a morbid person but in this case, history shows there were people starving and killed with bodies piled up high. No pictures of this were displayed. I had just left the WW11 museum and the parts about what really happened was displayed very well with pictures and videos of survivors. I was a bit disappointed with the lack of pictures of the people who were in concentration camps.
MoreI am a huge world war 2 history buff and have visited other holocaust museums in other cities. The opening houston is grey with amazing testimonies from local houston survivors. Worth checking it out.
MoreThe museum is an awesome experience. The visit is worth it, and all the areas are very important and informational. The museum covers many eras of history.
MoreThe exhibit was very moving and showed the history of the Jewish persecution from the beginning of Nazi's rise in power all the way liberation. There are plenty of documentaries and artifacts throughout the tour. A lot of descriptive placards in both English and Spanish.It took about 3h for me to finish the entire tour. I like many of the exhibits related to World War II. The history of the Holocaust is no exception and this place was definitely on my to-do list when I visited Houston. I was not disappointed by this museum.
