Poor and only poor

First Runner

Nice place to refresh my memory on the history.

sylvain geoffroy

(Translated) Nice place to revisit a tragic part of our past. Lots of reading, some videos with the vision of the survivors. (Original) Belle place pour revoir une partie tragique de notre passé. Beaucoup de lecture, quelques vidéos avec la vision des survivants.

Harjit Singh

A very humbling experience. A must visit for all humans.

Dius Rx

Amazing

Josiane Roberge

(Translated) Really interesting exhibition, but the maintenance of the toilets leaves something to be desired. (lack of folding toiletries and paper to wipe hands ...) (Original) Exposition vraiment intéressante, mais l'entretien des toilettes laisse à désirer. (manque de plier de toilette et de papier pour essuyer les mains ...)

Nathalia Fernandes

(Translated) Sad and impactful. Easy to reach by public transport. I managed to use my student card from Brazil to pay half of the ticket. (Original) Triste e impactante. Fácil de chegar de transporte público. Consegui usar minha carteirinha de estudante do Brasil para pagar meia no ingresso.

David Trottier

(Translated) Very rewarding (Original) Très enrichissant

Georgette Bensimon

Great place to learn about the reality of the WWII. How 6 million Jews were massacred because rhey were Jews and a minority.

Louis-Alexandre Simard

A very humbling expérience. The museum is very well thought out and for the price of a latte ans a croissant you can learn about what lead to, conspired to bring forth, created, executed and tried to hide one of the most shameful events in recent history. They have a companion app with troves of additional informatin and you can use one of their iPads if you dont own a mobile device.

Rabbi Yisroel Bernath

Very nice experience! Never forget!

david sharvit

Such a wonderful to learn more and understand the holocaust.

Taha Valiant

Every human needs to visit the museum, very heartbreaking to visit.

Cassidy Metcalf

Museum had everything in both French and English. Ipads were available for free to add to the tour as an audio guide

Marc-Andre Montreuil

Small museum inside the Jewish library in Montréal. Very interesting exhibits. If you happen to go on a Sunday, it's free and you might see a survivor, that will explain what happened to him.

Samuel de Oliveira

(Translated) it's touching and informative (Original) c'est touchant et informatif

Franck Malric

(Translated) Museum of modest size but very well thought out. The documentation is abundant as well as the objects (religious and personal), indelible traces of the suffering inflicted on the Jewish people. 1h30 of total immersion in the heart of the history of the Shoah make this visit a difficult and upsetting journey. (Original) Musée de taille modeste mais très bien pensé. La documentation est abondante au même titre que les objets (cultuels et personnels), traces indélébiles des souffrances infligées au peuple juif. 1h30 d'immersion totale au cœur de l'histoire de la Shoah font de cette visite un voyage éprouvant et bouleversant.

Jeremy Arnie

I visited this museum in 2017. It was so small, I was totally alone during my visit and there were not many things to see inside.

Mike Arsenault

A must if in Montreal

Emilio Padulo (EP Game Design School)

Very informative

salah 2016

My teacher took the class to the Museum it was good to look at the things inside.

Too short

Very detailed and touching.

michel chaput

(Translated) Beautiful museum, well kept and evocative. (Original) Beau musée, bien tenu et évocateur.

Jeffrey Starr

A different point of view based more on the lives of people in camps then the death and horrors.

Bishoy Abd El Messih

Amazing experience!! They even have people, survivors, coming in and telling their stories. Just an amazing museum!

Michael Koedderitzsch

Not the biggest museum but full of information and stories. You can spend many hours here. Beautifully done and incredibly moving. One of the better museums on the subject.

Julien Groulx

(Translated) Quite guilty, very macabre. Museology correct. (Original) Assez culpabilisant, très macabre. Muséologie correcte.

Marie Winchester

(Translated) The content of the museum; photos, texts, objects and videos are very interesting. We have the perspective of their lives and what it was like to be there. However .. the texts are too high. If you read in English, it is at eye level and ideal, if you read in French it is too high. The walls of photos, those at the top, we break our necks to read and watch and at the bottom, we put ourselves in a snowman to read the descriptive text as well as the photo. Otherwise, thank you for this beautiful museum. (Original) Le contenue du musée ; les photos, les textes, objets et vidéos sont très interessants. Nous avons le point de vue de leur vie et ce que c'était d'y être. Cependant.. les textes sont trop haut. Si tu lis en anglais, c'est à la hauteur des yeux et idéal, si tu lis en français c'est trop haut. Les murs de photos, celles du haut, on se casse le cou pour lire et regarder et en bas, on se mets en bonhomme pour lire le texte descriptif ainsi que la photo. Sinon, je vous remercie pour ce beau musée.

Nico A3rt5 (Nïko Nø Kåmi)

(Translated) Not very big but very well done. (Original) Pas très grand mais très bien fait.

Lucy Kleinerman

Very important museum that people should visit! It gives a lot of information about the dark and terrible period of time during the Holocaust. Very recommend!!! Give yourself some time when you get there to read the information and the personal stories.

Bee D

Chilling and eye opening about the history of the Holocaust. Great Museum!

travis hopper

outstanding

Jon Yazer

A very good comprehensive overview of the Holocaust that follows a logical timeline approach. The free iPads with videos make up for the slightly dated feel of the panels, and there’s enough detail to cover the basics while inviting further study of specific topics beyond the museum (e.g. the Danish resistance). I would have liked to learn a little more about Canada’s history (anti-semitism, Jewish immigration and life, etc) before, during, and after the Holocaust, and Montreal as a home for many survivors. It’s great that they keep the price of admission so low.

Zoir Radjabov

Very interesting

Sara Sweeney

A true hidden treasure. The memorial is very educational and focuses on the resilience of the Jewish community. It reaches visitors on multiple fronts providing an individual iPad, display cases, group videos, and informational text. This is a must do.

andréanne Martin

(Translated) Touching and so well presented. (Original) Touchant et si bien présenté.

Anne-Marie Hudon

(Translated) We are going there this Sunday when the museums are free. If I had to pay, I would have been disappointed. And yet the holocaust is a part of history that has always interested me. But the museum is a bit poorly designed. You arrive the walls are plastered with text and some object in the window. It lacks a bit of structure. You read a bit, you arrive at the next station and you run out of time. Difficult to explain. But I will appreciate a structure better than the present one. But still a lot of interesting stuff so I didn't know it existed. (Original) Nous y sommes aller ce dimanche lorsque les musées sont gratuit. Si j'avais eu a payer, j'aurai été déçue. Et pourtant l'holocauste est une partie de l'histoire qui m'a toujours intéressée . Mais le musée est un peu mal conçue. Tu arrives les murs sont placardé de texte et quelque objet en vitrine. Il manque un peu de structure. Tu lis un bout tu arrive à la station d'après et tu ne suis plus le temps. Difficile à expliquer. Mais j'aurai apprécier une structure mieux que celle présente. Mais tout de même beaucoup de chose intéressante donc j'ignorais l'existence.

Patrick Flowers

Everyone should visit this museum to be aware of this dark portion of our history. Very moving experience.

Yucel Salimoglu

Holocaust happened long time ago but no lessons have been taken. Still a bunch of dictators and a lot of pain.

andreSC

(Translated) Any work that is intended to show a little of what was the 2nd. World War and its horrors so that it does not repeat has its importance. But it is a place where you leave depressed, without a doubt. (Original) Qualquer obra que se destina a mostrar um pouco do que foi a 2a. Guerra Mundial e seus horrores para que não se repita tem sua importância. Mas é um local onde vc sai deprimido, sem dúvida.

Rick Lavie

(Translated) Well documented (Original) Bien documenté

gabriella “Gabby” mazzon

Incredible museum. Done in a very respectful way. Definitely worth going too!

Juan Paz-Viera

Very well preserved and presented memories of the holocaust years as well as the Canadian presence in it. Small place filled with different media to illustrate that horrible past. Good for history fans not so much for small kids.

David Taveroff

Visited Cummings Center

Genton Hong

Very interesting get a group of 10 and get a free guided tour. Worth the visit. The crimes and horrors against the Jewish community.

Brigitte Proulx

I really enjoyed my visit. I was with my niece and I appreciated the fact that she stayed very interested and asked many questions. A beautiful place full of memories so we never forget.

David Lai

Small museum but attended a very moving talk from a Holocaust survivor.

Richard Sweet

Very informative and extremely moving.

Sharyn Vance

A very moving and thought provoking experience, the incorporation of a large selection of locally donated artifacts as well as accompanying text and personal interviews from survivors allows the museum to appeal to everyone. Tours with guides are available in both French and English, but not strictly necessary. If you love history and museums this is a great place to visit, but give yourself plenty of time, there is a lot of great material to take in.

Clara Vézina

(Translated) Holocaust history very detailed, located in a community center. Beautiful neighborhood easily accessible (Original) Histoire de la Shoah très détaillée, située dans un centre communautaire. Beau quartier facilement accessible

François Lemay

(Translated) I spent more than 2 hours there. Several touching testimonies from survivors established in Montreal. Information panels, photos, and exhibitions of personal objects thus adding a human and intimate dimension to the visit. We come out of it touched and contemplative, reflecting on the fragility of our democracies. (Original) J'y ai passé plus de 2 heures. Plusieurs témoignages touchants de survivants établit à Montréal. Panneaux informatifs, photos, et expositions d'objets personnels ajoutant ainsi une dimension humaine et intime à la visite.

Matt Herd

Impactful and thought provoking.

Alexandru Fozza

(Translated) The museum presents an important moment in the history of humanity integrated into its time. The roots, context and consequences of the Holocaust as well as reactions around the world at different times are revealed to the visitor through unpublished documents and facts. I was captivated by his narration during the 3 hours of my visit. The staff are always ready to help or give clarifications. I learned a lot - as much about events that I was not aware of before the visit as about human beings and humanity. Enriching and moving ... (Original) Le musée présente un important moment de l'histoire de l'humanité intégré à son époque. Les racines, le contexte et les conséquences du Holocauste ainsi que les réactions à travers le monde à différents moments sont dévoilés pour le visiteur à travers des documents et faits inédits. J'étais captivé par sa narration pendant les 3 heures de ma visite. Le personnel est toujours prêt à aider ou à donner des clarifications.

Christopher Law

This is a really fascinating museum. It might be small but it's packed with real artifacts from holocaust survivors who arrived in Canada. I've been to all the major concertina camps in Europe this is still a must see. It's far more enlightening than any one tour. Be sure to download their audio tour app or borrow an iPad from them.

David Levin

Beautiful collection and tastefully delivered

Dan Lunney

The museum is well laid out with exhibits and short videos throughout to help us remember that which we must never forget.

Andrew Munn

It's a lot bigger than we thought. Admission is very reasonable and you feel like you get your money's worth. They can provide you with a tablet to carry with you to explain certain parts, but we opted to just read all of the exhibits.

Gabriel

Really fruitful reflections on the Holocaust as you observe the artefacts and read/hear people’s experiences and stories on this. I would definitely recommend this museum for its ability to keep us anchored to the realities and context of the Holocaust.

Prabhat Chauhan

It reminds one, how cruel humen can be, hope this is not repeated again.

Alex Lessard

A part of history without any censoring is shown there and it is not for sensible person. The exposition can easily take up to 3 hours because of all the available artifacts, interview and stories. A sad but necessary museum everybody should visit once.

Achyut P. Adhhikari

This is the best place to learn about Jewish history, culture and specially the inhuman behaviour that Jewish people faced during Hitler years. I came to know why Jewish elderly people don’t wanna take shower in the bathroom. I learned why peoples in Jewish culture seems so religious to wash their hands before and after meal. I strongly recommend this museum to visit for anyone interested to know everything about the Jewish.

Rikko “Scot” Weatherup

Very nice .

Jackson PREDELUS

(Translated) It reminds of bad memories of the Jews at the extermination camp (Original) Ça rappelle des mauvais souvenirs des juifs au camp d'extermination

Shelley Leibowicz

A place of heartbreaking sadness, but when you leave you cannot help feeling hope. I donated my father's pictures and paperwork so that a record of his life and loss will remain, including the death of his entire family except for one brother.

Jia

Don't come here in a rush, the story needs time to be told.. There are two levels and you might want to spend a bit more time on a second, although it has a very sad atmosphere. Great thing is: it is open until 21:00, when all other museums are long closed, so you can come here in the evening taking a metro and walking a couple of minutes from the station. I would suggest to spend 2 hours in this place, there is a lot to see, hear, read.. and then maybe just sit a bit and absorb.

Yeshwanthi Ramkumar (YESH)

It's a good place to bring kids and teach them about the brutalities of human nature.

Thebabydoc

We try to visit Holocaust museums in every city we travel to. NY and Washington DC are far and away the best. Montreal has an enormous Jewish community with many Holocaust survivors. This museum, although small, gave a really personal view of the life of Jews during that horrific decade. The iPad tour was incredibly concise and packed with information. A 'must see.'

Nathan Harvey

An amazing place to learn about one of modern histories darkest times. Excellent staff and volunteers, something everyone should see!

Victor Gingras-Leblanc

(Translated) Excellent place to commemorate a tragic event in our history (Original) Excellent endroit pour se commémorer un événement tragique dans notre histoire

Michael Newbigin

A very moving and well put together exhibition.

Jessica Desrochers

(Translated) Very beautiful and sober museum. The subject is not easy to tackle and leaves no one indifferent. The museum is very well done, it does not squeeze the lemon in an absurd or cliché way. Everything is explained with tact and respect. Without trying to make a sensation or shock. The subject is quite shocking in itself. The staff are very well trained and always ready to answer our questions to the best of their ability. You should not go there during the free museum day if you want to see anything. (Original) Très beau et sobre musée. Le sujet n'est pas facile à aborder et ne laisse personne indifférent. Le musée est très bien fait, il ne presse pas le citron d'une façon absurde ou cliché. Tout est bien expliqué avec tact et respect. Sans chercher à faire sensation ou choquer. Le sujet est assez choquant en soi. Le personnel est très bien formés et toujours prêt à répondre à nos questions dans le meilleur de leurs capacités. Il ne faut cependant pas y aller durant la journée gratuite des musées si vous voulez voir quoi que ce soit.

Andrew Wilcox

The museum takes you through Jewish life before, through the rise of Nazi Germany, and the aftermath. Good documentation including videos of holocaust survivors. Can take several hours to half a day if you take your time through everything.

Anna Li

It was an "okay" museum and not very big so don't expect spending all afternoon there. I would have wanted it to be more interactive, but the museum mostly consists of pictures and miscellaneous objects.

Susan Z

So very informative, I think anyone with a. European background should visit this museum at least once. Very moving.

Anthony Rancourt

(Translated) Good but there are just things to read there is no object (Original) Bien mais il y a juste des chose à lire il n'y a pas de objet

Every human needs to visit the museum, very heartbreaking to visit.

Jenna “Bladeness”

Beautiful place that displays the horrible past in a proper way. Pictures, artifacts, and videos you can sit and watch from holocaust survivors. It’s a quite, respectful place that made me tear up. I’m very thankful that I was able to visit.

Igor Pivovar

Great and very informative museum dedicated to the Holocaust.

Yannick Ratté

(Translated) Very nice museum, exhibition very well mounted! (Original) Très beau musée, exposition très bien montée!

Heitor Costa

Very educational and interesting museum! I stayed there for hours with my girlfriend so we could watch all the videos and read all the texts. It's really harrowing to see how many parallels we can draw with today's world.

Annemarie IJkema

Very interesting place. Goose bumps. Very sad stories,even sadder that it all happened :-(

Vivian F

Amazing exhibition. Very well presented. A lot of images, videos, audio and collectibles. This museum needs to be visited by everybody so we don’t repeat the past.

juan balandra

Note: The Museum is closed on Saturday. It was a great learning experience. The video interviews gave it a human perspective. I learned that the Warsaw Ghetto was not the only one. There were many ghettos all over Europe. So many people died from hunger and sickness. I gain a new understanding about the suffering of those brave people. Also about how evil was the Third Reich.

we might need to make it bigger but insighful

Greta R

It's a small museum but if you take your time to read and see everything you'll need at least 3 hours, but definitely worth it.

(Translated) A must for all (Original) Un must pour tous

Krina Shah

This museum is extremely well presented. Many museums are hard to navigate or overwhelming, but not here. It is very clear the order to read everything in; there's a general blurb for each "section" and then it's broken down into pictures and more specific information for each event. Of course, it is very poignant and I learned a lot. I was also surprised at how low the cost is. This museum is absolutely worth a visit.

Chauch Back (Famas_dead)

(Translated) Over 2h30 of discoveries or rediscoveries of the history of the Shoah. A moving, poignant and immersive moment. A must-do museum! (Original) Sur 2h30 de découvertes ou redecouvertes de l'Histoire de la Shoah. Un moment émouvant, poignant et immersif. Un musée à faire absolument !

It was a ok place. Water leaking when we were looking at things. A guard in front of us doesn't even recognize the visitors. Blocked our view trying to deal with the water issue. But he didn't have to stay in front of us really. Over all, staff were not very conducive for learning anything and the place was again, just ok.

Karen Misek

I have a particular interest in WW2 and specifically the atrocities of the holocaust. We were going to be visiting Montreal and discovered online that this museum existed. I'm happy I went, lots of information, stories, pictures and artifacts. The museum provides an iPad and headphones to make it interactive. Give yourself lots of time to fully experience it. At the end of the visit there is a quiet room of remembrance that was very very moving.

Cynthia Coursol

It is two floors, the free audio guides are on mini ipads and that is nice. The explanations are fun to read. Nothing is confusing. It is not an emotional roller coaster, it is more academic when discussing how a an elected leader lead to genocide.

Sara C. Pautrat

(Translated) Very good and documented Holocaust museum. It is small, so you have to come early, to see everything quietly. Bring a piece of identity with photo to access the tablets with the guided tour, which give a lot of additional information. Absolutely necessary and recommended visit. (Original) Muy buen y documentado museo del Holocausto. Es pequeño, así que hay que venir algo temprano, para poder ver todo tranquilamente.

Museum detailing the history of the Holocaust. It was an educational visit.

Dean B

One of the best museums I've been to.

(Translated) The museum tells a very concise story of events but it is true that compared to museums in Europe, there is less material. It is all the same well done and it takes at least 2 hours, in my opinion, to take your time to browse the museum. When we arrived, there was 1h30 left and I took the trouble to ask the person who sold us the tickets if we would have time to do everything. She told us yes ... but after charging us for the tickets, she said that with "the little time" we had left, we couldn't have the iPad as a guide ... that would have Nice to know that before you swipe the credit card! Indeed, we missed 30 minutes at 1:00 am to finish the visit quietly and we were forced to leave at 4:00 pm sharp ... in short, plan at least 2:30 without rush, no less. (Original) Le musée raconte une histoire très concise des événements mais il est vrai que comparé aux musée en Europe, il y a moins de matière. Il est tout de même bien fait et il faut au moins 2h, selon moi, pour prendre son temps afin de parcourir le musée. Quand nous sommes arrivés, il restait 1h30 et j'ai pris la peine de demander à la personne qui nous vendu les billets si on allait avoir le temps pour tout faire. Elle nous a dit que oui... mais après nous avoir fait payer les billets, elle a dit qu'avec "le peu de temps" qu'il nous restait, nous ne pouvions pas avoir le iPad comme guide... cela aurait été bien de le savoir avant de glisser la carte de crédit! Effectivement il nous a manqué 30 min à 1h00 pour terminer la visite tranquillement et nous avons été contraint de sortir à 16h00 pile... bref, planifiez au moins 2h30 sans rush, pas moins.

jeremy gaillet

(Translated) A particularly interesting museum insofar as it gives us information on the Jewish religion, on the Shoah ... In addition, there is a variety of documents such as videos made by Jewish survivors, texts, objects used by the Jews during the Second World War ... However, the clientele is to be reviewed. A gentleman who does not know politeness (a hello ...) and a lady who does not speak a word in French. (Original) Un musée particulièrement intéressant dans la mesure où il nous donne des informations sur la religion juive, sur la Shoah... De plus, il y a une variété de documents comme des vidéos réalisées par des survivants juifs, des textes, des objets utilisés par les juifs durant la seconde guerre mondiale... Toutefois, la clientèle est à revoir. Un monsieur qui ne connait pas la politesse (un bonjour...) et une dame qui ne parle pas un mot en français.

(Translated) Incredible place with lots of information and very well presented. To say more is to take surprise from the great work done and surprise is part of the place (Original) Increíble lugar con muchísima información y muy bien presentada. Decir más es quitarle sorpresa al gran trabajo hecho y la sorpresa es parte del lugar

(Translated) The exhibition is good but objects are missing when I compare with the museums in Europe this one touches the real atrocities of the camps. (Original) L'exposition est bonne mais il manque des objets lorsque je compare avec les musées en Europe celui ci effleure les atrocités réelles des camps.

Good collection

Paige Locastro

Very informative museum. It was well layed out, the pieves from the museum appeared to authentic. The only thing that I can possibly complain about is that was a lot of reading. There were a few videos to break up the reading. However, some overhead narrative would be helpful or some more hands on exhibits would be great too. Overall, it was an amazing museum and great experience. We are so glad we came.

Great historical museum. A great find in the greater Montreal area.

Samuel Boucher

Well-explained history, chills-giving spot. However found there was a little lack of detail and that the museum was rather small.

(Translated) A very interesting museum. A part of history to know. And it is not very expensive 8 for adults and 5 for seniors and children. (Personally, a child will find this to be very long, it's a lot of reading). Take the route with the ipad (Original) Un musee Tres tres interessant. Une partir de l'histoire a connaitre.

Its smaller than what I expected. Be prepared to do lots of reading. Make sure you have at least 1.5 hours to read and listen to some videos of holocaust survivors internviews. Its informative but I just expected more. My family have good handle with this part of history so for us its not worth it to visit this museum as we already knew most of what we read.

The tablets are great to help explain more info on the items, especially if there are people surrounding the displays. My husband and I were there for hours and read every single thing. Expect to stay at least 2 or 3 hours if you take in all the information. Very heavy on the heart but important to discuss.
