Traveler reviews
Lara Rejane
★★★★★9 months agoA must-visit to understand the many layers of Jewish history. You start on the third floor, focused on the Holocaust. The second floor explores Jewish traditions and rituals. The first floor shares stories of Jewish families, including Anne Frank’s. I left with much more knowledge and cultural understanding. Highly recommend if you want to learn more about the topic and truly understand why fighting antisemitism matters.

★★★★★Edited 5 months agoI think its very well done, a German will not feel guilty in here. Starts with 1945 end point of German national socialism - Frankfurt 80% destroyed. It's amazing how it developed since - as a capitalist society. Loved the Rotschield family history..
