Pictures are not allowed in the museum. The museum is a series of rooms that snake back and forth always coming back to the center where you can see how far you have to the end. The center hall is shaped like a triangle (the ceiling being the point). They did an excellent job of making you feel solemn, oppressed, overwhelmed. We only had an hour and a half, but you could easily spend 2 days in there (if you could handle it that long) reading all their material and watching the videos.
This is Schindler's tree planted in the Avenue of the Righteous. More than 122,000 trees were planted in honor of the non-Jewish people who assisted the Jews.
Children's memorial. Below is a room that feels like you are walking inside a diamond in the dark with little candles lit behind the facets. There is a voice that lists the names of the children who died along with their age and the country they were from.
