Holocaust Center

We are at the Holocaust center in Washington DC today, I will add photos to this post later. The whole front entrance was closed for a VIP, so we had to go in the back. Once inside we learned the VIP was the wife of Israel's Prime Minister. They were closing one floor at a time in order for her to enjoy the exhibits without the rush of high school children, we were not so lucky. we were able to sit and enjoy one of the movies on the 4th floor and most of them passed by us.

If you have not been to this museum it is a must on the DC tour list. you need to stop in as soon as you can during the day to get your tickets. we got there about 1:15 and received entry tickets for 2:30 pm. this is not bad there is a gift shop you can browse through as well as free exhibits on the 1st floor and basement level that do not require tickets. all tickets are free, but space and times are limited each day. This was the 1st time I was able to tour the Daniel's story exhibit, it has been closed on m other visits. It was great for kids, if you have young children i recommend seeing this part of the museum even if you cannot get to the rest. you get to walk through Daniel's house with touch and play learning as guided by his diary pages.
