Note: this is for the temporary location. Tip: Groupon is easy to get, $11/2 people Insightful permanent exhibit, I enjoyed walking through and learning some detailed history. It is nice to have a reminder from time to time of what we do not want to go back to, and try to avoid in the future. I can't wait till they move back to their new building, I will go to visit again.

Its actually unbelievable but I am glad to open the eyes of their understanding. The history, the knowledge.. It touches you deeply to read, see and hear what happened. Great place to visit.

Museum did a great job with the students. The videos at the end are very good and need to be watched by all. Staff was very friendly. Definitely not as good as the regular muesum, but for being an off site they did well.

Overall, I left feeling pretty disappointed. The holocaust museum was at a temporary site while they worked on the primary site. However, it was very small (like 4 small hallways) of exhibits. Having gone to the holocaust museum in DC, my expectations were probably too high, but there were only a few exhibits that explained more than the general story of the Rise and fall of Hitler. I did appreciate the film of local survivors at the end.

I was a chaperone to a school event. At first glance, it is visually disappointing, especially since it is a temporary location while they have a complete overhaul and expansion at the permanent location, but that is just a superficial assessment. If you have the opportunity to have a docent (i.e. guide) it will greatly enhance your appreciation. To look at the exhibits and understand the suffering and horrendous treatment of human beings to one another can only be gleaned meagerly from the short captions on black and white photos. With the docent, our guide audibly described the events in a logical, chronological sequence while making the struggle of the Jews, elderly, handicapped and homosexual people an emotionally charged event. You will go from feelings of sympathy to empathy, sadness to anger, from a desire to change the past to ensuring a different future. The lessons learned from this memorial are only obtained when biases and prejudice are left at the door. Why only 4/5 stars then? Well, it would do the renovation project a disservice to call a temporary one story location a five star standard to a memorial of injustice. I am not a museum goer, in fact I abstain from most cultural experiences but this was absolutely life changing and I will be back with my daughter!!!

Absolutely AMAZING to learn Houston has a museum. Took my children & learned some things that I never knew before. What an honor it was to hear some of the stories & see some of the objects from that time. And an outstanding new bit of technology they used to ask a survivor questions. It was like the man was actually there. Thank you for this honor! Thank you for this museum.

Really a great experience! You need to be quiet and there is a lot to read though you can use your phone and get much of it read to you. I found it difficult to listen and look at it all at the same time so i just read it. The only disappointment was it was smaller than we expected. There is the most amazing feature of a full size screen with a survivor that you can ask 1600 questions...facinating!

The tour guide made the experience exceptional. She was well knowledged. If it wasn't for her, I may have rated the experience 3 stars since the temp facility is so small. I will definitely be back when the remodeling is completed. I do recommend that people should still visit the temp site because they have a holographic interview with a survivor that allows you to ask questions & it picks up on key words. That will go away once the new facility opens.

For me, this museum is much smaller than I expected. However, smaller doesn't mean something bad. It might be small from the outside, but the inside contains all of the richest information about Holocaust and WWII. For that reason, I'm highly recommend this museum for everybody from 10 years old to older (According to the Museum's notice).

It's not in its usual place, it's getting a remodel, but temporary area was not hard to find, and we were blown away by the actual items and pictures detailed here. Very interesting and solemn tour given by volunteers. Actual survivors living in Houston come to tell their stories. Children can get history credits on visiting here. What a treasure to our nation! Don't miss it!

They've currently relocated because of the floods and it's fairly impressive how nice the place looks for a temporary home. They have plans to make a huge museum that looks great. I highly suggest anyone to visit here, because even though it's not a place that makes you feel good, it's a place that reminds us of a terrible past. We should never forget what happened, and strive to never let it happen again.

Kerry Cahill | Apr 24, 2018

This is a must see museum. You can walk the museum at your own pace or participate in the group tour they have. The museum also includes stories from local Houston resident who survived the holocaust. In addition, they have a 30 minute video of some stories of survivors. They are currently at a temporary location while the new building is being constructed. The new building will be open in 2019.

This museum is a perfect place to learn of the atrocities that were brought upon the Jewish people. My heart continues to sense the grevious acts committed by Hitler and his henchmen. The photos and the relics are amazing! The museum provides a guided tour. We opted to go alone in order that we could read everything we could. It still amazes me how many people were slaughtered and how long it took to find out the real truth behind the so called "work camps". In a way I am so glad that there are immense amounts of photographic documentation. It truly demonstrates how hate can destoy a nation. We who are here now must see that love is the only way to heal. This museum is wonderful!

Randy Hoge | Jun 22, 2018

The museum is interesting. They push you to take a "tour" where the guide explains almost every wall hanging photo and article. It was a bit monotonous, but it was slightly informative. If you are in your 60's, like us, and have studied or read or watched movies about the Holocaust, you probable know most of the information they are providing. Still, the experience was acceptable.

I had to come for my History class. I needed to visit, take notes and write a paper back home. That was very hard to do because the museum was so small and I didn't learn anything new. It's inside an office park which is super odd. I like more interactive museums and this was 90% reading material. There were a few videos but they had no sound and since no one at the front explained anything to us, I didn't know how to hear the audio. There are lots of pictures and some items encased but nothing I couldn't have just googled. They did have a camp uniform on display but I immediately assumed it was fake. There was no information posted on it. It wasnt until I read the pamphlet that I read it was real and who donated it. That would have been a good thing to post on the actual item! The only thing worth looking at is the theatre in the back that plays interviews of survivors. Those were hard to hear but very informative.

The museum is in a transition between its old and future locations. There are interesting and informative displays, but it is very small considering Houston is a major city with a substantial number of museums. It's definitely worth a visit, but it doesn't have the impact it should.

Brent Marshall | Jun 20, 2018

Temporary Location is in the Office Park! I strongly recommend going to this museum. It is somber and sobering jolt to the reality of how far people can go off course. Very professionally laid out exhibits and excellent narrative educate the masses in depth of the atrocities of the Holocaust. I , personally was so moved and felt so much empathy for these peopl i had to step outside.

Clara Edin | Jul 2, 2018

Such a deep feeling place! We must never forget! When they have their new building I am sure it will be a 5 Star!

Jeffrey Dunn | Jul 26, 2018

Very educational & absolutely a must see. The staff were stern but at least friendly in explaining the rules and such, at the time of this review posting they are missing a few physical objects from the exhibits (the library area was closed as well). Although it's to conserve them it's s bit of a let down as there is definitely more text plaques than physical historical objects as is and the missing objects only take away slightly. Still plenty to look at and think about how the world was at that time. I recommend only adults and well behaved children, there is a peaceful silence to the place reminiscent of a library and the young kids that were in the building today only interrupted that experience.

Sarah Sanchez | Jul 16, 2018

A moving experience. Highly recommend the tour! Our guide was very informed and polite in answering questions. The video of interviews from survivors brought me to tears. A must see. Learned so much. They also had a Syrian refugee exhibit in the back. (Picture)

Tito Saquiche | Jul 19, 2018

Walked for about two hours with my 7 year old and it felt like we were there for a couple of minutes. My daughter was very focused and interested. Having the tour on your phone helped alot to have a better understanding. Great place and friendly staff!!!

Lydia DeSantis | Aug 6, 2018

Attended the temporary location which was very good but did not contain all the items for exhibit. Told relocation should happen some time in May 2019. Definitely would go back again.
