Tout pour ne pas oublier.
You can be mind blowingly attractive without the need of being nueeewwd
In a time when history is being erased, victims are being forgotten, people are being demonized, and racism/fascism/nationalism are being glorified, this is the resource we all need to reference!
This site is amazing. The people at the museum are knowledge laden! The Belfer Academy is second to none!
Please! Go to them to learn what we need NOT be doing!

The US Holocaust Museum Cafe is a must-visit destination in DC, offering an emotional and educational experience that transports visitors to a difficult time in world history. Located near the National Mall, admission is free, and reservations can be made easily in advance. The museum features well-put-together exhibits, videos, and audio guides that require at least 2-3 hours to digest, with many visitors staying longer. The museum does a fantastic job of putting a difficult period of history into context, reminding visitors of the past and its lessons for the present day.
The cafe is just outside the museum and has a separate entrance. It offers a simple fare and basic modern decor without any frills. The menu may give the impression of a cook-to-order restaurant, but the food is pre-made and kept warm or in the cooler. The staff will try to accommodate any special requests, such as gluten-free options, but visitors should be aware that this is a simple cafe, not a full-service restaurant.
Recent visitors have praised the museum for its knowledgeable staff and the impactful Belfer Academy, highlighting its importance in understanding history. Participants have noted that the hands-on resources and group discussions can change individuals for the better. Many emphasize the necessity of confronting the ugly truths about antisemitism and all hatred that leads to violence. Be prepared for an emotional experience, and plan to stay for a full day to take in everything the museum has to offer.
