Holocaust Memorial Museum

Last weekend, I was in Washington, D.C. for a hockey tournament over Presidents Day weekend. In the little free time I had, me and my parents visited many of the historic sites of Washington D.C. I want to focus on one the museums that we visited. My dad and I were very interested in seeing  the Holocaust museum so we stopped in just before it closed and only had time for two exhibits. We first saw the Propaganda exhibit which talked a lot about how the Nazi Party used modern techniques as well as technologies and carefully crafted messages to sway millions with its vision for a new Germany. This was very interesting to me and I enjoyed looking at the different propaganda posters that were displayed in the exhibit. We then went on and went into the Remember the Children: Daniel's Story exhibit which was a very emotion exhibit. It was the story about a boy named Daniel and his family during the Holocaust. Since Daniel's family were Jewish, the Nazi's hated them and drove his family out of the Germany in 1938 when he was 11. Jewish kids were not allowed to go to public schools anymore, they wouldn't let anyone shop and his families store, the synagog was burnt down and the Nazi's made all jews wear yellow stars on their shirts that had the word "Jew" printed on them in big, black letters. The Nazi's took them far away to a ghetto which was very crowded and dirty and there was no way to escape. His family went from living in a nice house to living in a tiny room for all of them. The Nazi's then send them to a concentration camp where Daniel and his father were separated from his mother and sister who were taken away and murdered. Daniel did everything to survive and he did. He was one of very few. Over one million children under the age of 16 died during the Holocaust and Daniel survived. This was a very emotion exhibit for me and it is something I will never forget. 

Has anyone ever been to this museum?
