the el paso holocaust museum

This is a great place to visit. The layout is incredible. It starts with a video and then the museum takes you on a timeline of the events of the holocaust. It is haunting and memorable and best of all its free.

I live in El Paso all my life. My first time it was when I was in school now as a mother I had been there with my children. We really love it. It small but has the right information about the Holocaust.

It's a relatively small museum. It has a couple of real trinkets but it gives great information. Along the walls there are great visuals and stories.The admission is free and they accept donations.

ME and my husband enjoyed the museum however, we got there about and hour before they closed. I would suggest more time as there is a lot of reading that is very interesting. The museum is by donation only. I would like to suggest that the museum is probably for ages 10 years old and up a small child would get bored very easily. The museum is worth a stop but allow at least 1 1/2 hours.

Amazing compilation of resources, and historic items. The way they communicated the history behind it all was well thought out for sure.

You get a real history of the Holocaust rarely found in a museum of this size. Also if you a interested in resource material it has a full library of Holocaust books both stories and ref guides. It is open to the public at no charge. Donations are accepted.

Modern facility, well organized exhibit. Nice museum store. Great selection of historic pieces of information, including a railroad car, showing the feel and handling of the original equipment pieces.

Found this museum while walking downtown. An amazing tribute developed by a Holocaust survivor who now lives in El Paso. Well done and although difficult to go through, it is important.

I never actually made it to the museum. I plugged in the museum by name in my GPS, no luck finding it. Then plugged it in by address, took me somewhere else, but still not to the museum. Waste of time. My family was so tired of driving in circles looking for it, we moved on.

The founders of this museum put a lot into this museum. It is a must see and compares favorably with the larger Holocaust Museums around the world. Somber but very educational!

I went here with my boyfriend while we visited el paso we thought lets take advantage of something free to do. The museum is very nice lots of fun facts and little pieces of history. However the exhibit was very short and there was more reading than actual artifacts we enjoyed it because were adults in our late twenties but overall it was a good experience, i learned alot while there.

I've always been interested in the history of the Holocaust and know a lot about it but I still learned a lot when I went there. It's small so it doesn't take a lot of time to go through but still very informative. They even have books designed to explain the Holocaust to young children without going into details beyond their certain age.

This museum display one of the most horrifying tragedies of the 20th century.Graphic pictures of dead people are included on one of the screens. Full of information and pictures of some heroes of the holocaust you will see. Good location. Free entrance.

I was in El Paso passing through to LA and checked out places I could visit in short period while hereRead about this. Although not a pleasant subject decided to go to learn more about what happened. I am not Jewish but nevertheless was very moved like everyone else that visits. I took about 90 minutes to go through every area including a video in beginning. You could do faster. I found it so moving that I read and viewed every piece. It is suitable for children as you are warned when not appropriate for kids under 12. There are also bypass paths if you find an area too emotional. Recommend you visit this museum very close to I-10 while traveling through El Paso.
