Reviews of Musée de l'Holocauste Montréal (Tourist Attraction)

Such a wonderful to learn more and understand the holocaust.

Taha Valiant

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

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.

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.

Very educational but a little short.

Dani Frodis

A terrific, educational, and emotional portrayal of one of humanity's darkest times. So vital. Never again! We will always remember!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.'

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.

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.

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.

Samuel Bae

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.

Prince Ph

Beautiful museum. History is well explained with both french and English signs.

Stephen Shapiro

Outstanding presentation. Very meaningful.

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.
