This is a part of history that should never be forgotten. The exhibits are interesting and each picture tells its story! A must see for all faiths. Online and in person tickets available. Cost is $12.00 per person. Check for childrens prices.
The cattle car in the parking lot out front is ghoulish and in poor taste. I understand the purpose of it. Theres definitely educational value there. My people were victims of the Holocaust. I get it. But thats not the proper place for it. A strip mall parking lot is totally undignified for that important piece of history. Move it somewhere more respectful.
Well put together. Jan Larson was the docent. Explained that awful time in a reasonable and understandable presentation. Artifacts and visuals shown in a respectful way. Worth seeing...
Was not pleased about not having a staff member to take you on the tour,and explain events to you ..Other visitors were talking and it was distracting..
The whole truth and nothing but the truth! We can not forget! The tour is well worth the time. Excellent museum
By chance, we arrived on Wednesday afternoon. A very knowledgeable gentleman gave us a 2hr talk on the Holocaust. Wow! Wonderful!
This was my second time to the Holocaust Museum in Naples FL, but my first time to the new location. I was so disappointed! There is no comparison to the original museum that was located on Tamiami Trail. If you have been to the original museum it is not worth your time or money to see the new one. There really isn’t much there.In 2008, I walked out of that museum in tears, full of empathy and disbelief. Emotions I never felt before ran rampantly through me and I have never forgotten that experience. I highly recommended this museum for years. The rooms were dim and small, full of artifacts and black and white photographs that left nothing to the imagination. The truth about the Holocaust was boldly told by the display of authentic black and white photos and artifacts.This past February, 2020, I was vacationing on Sanibel Island with a friend and she wanted wanted to see for herself the museum I spoke so highly of. I knew as soon as I walked through those doors that it wasn’t the same museum. It looked sparse and bright. There was only a few black and white photographs and artifacts. By no means did it tell the story of the horror, suffering, displacement, inhumane acts, etc., etc. the Jews of that time had to endure.Needless to say, after walking out of the building I looked at my friend and apologized. I was in such disbelief how two museums with the same goals could be so emotionally different. If we want the next generation and generations to come to learn about the Holocaust, they need to put back the museum to the way it was on Tamiami Trail. After all, it all began (the museum) through the eyes of a middle school student.
By far one of the better cultural / museum experiences in the area. I would definitely recommend popping by, whether youre a local or just visiting while on vacation. It may be on the heavier side in terms of subject matter, but its well worth the visit if youre up to it.
A holocaust survivor was our guide. Extremely touching. #coexist
The museum is small but very well presented. I never fail to be shocked at how humans can act against each other and this had to be the worst. A must see to continually remind people on how not to act towards others. An eye opener every time I see it!
Quite educational and interesting, need more films,less lecture,but very good
The Museum offers 1.5 hour guided tours. Our guide today was very knowledgeable and engaging. This is a place we will definitely recommend to friends who come to visit us each winter.
Very educational, I learned a lot and the people are kind. They have a lot a very interesting stuff.
This is a must visit museum for anyone visiting Naples that wants to learn about the Holocaust.
A very educational experience. I highly recommend anyone and everyone to go and listen to the stories, read the posters, and experience the Holocaust story from a Holocaust survivors perspective.
Great experience. Small museum but very informative. Be sure to get a tour while there Had a nice time.
Absolutely an experience.My son and I were very impressed with Gil and his guided tour.So informative..but sad.The events of the Holocaust can never be forgotten.Teach the children young.They will carry the stories on for generations to insure it never happens again.
Sad and awe-inspiring
As a history buff enthusiast, you can pick up some great education here on Nazi Germany and how the Jews and the German mental people were disposed of. I know alot about this era but I still learned 3 things I did not know. Highly recommend this place. Never forget!!
Great docents, very knowledgeable. Sobering!!
If you didnt know it was here,you wouldnt find this place!!
I was not sure what to expect because the building was not a typical museum style but I was very well done. We got an excellent guided group tour by a very passionate guide that brought everything to life. A moving experience. The displays were very interesting and informative. Well worth the time.
Fabulous experience, it is small yet so big in history, make sure you take the guided tour, my tour guide was Gil, he was excellent, you will take the whole picture of this catastrophe but most important you are aware and sensitive to what is happening nowadays and hopefully we will not turn our heads to the new holocaust happening.
Very thoughtful and informative.
Interesting place for those that where never explained the atrocities organized and carried out by right extremists. 2 hours should be enough and bring in teenagers in an attempt to not replicate this in the futureParking in the front and in the back but the place is moving near Corkscrew in the upcoming month.I learnt in the presentation of the Violonistes that where in the park entrance. That show you how devious human can be.Well done to the orginiser and the care taker and organization. That you for the very interesting tour.Separo
Such a wonderful experenice
Lots of info on what TRULY happened !!!
The residents of Naples are very fortunate to have a group of citizens that generously give of their resources to preserve the footprints of mankind. I find history to be such a unique area of study due to the various perspectives that individuals contribute to enlighten those who are open to listen. We can only move forward in this journey, however learning from our civilizations past can greatly influence the direction of the footprints we leave for others to learn from in our future civilizations.
Great experience. Small museum but very informative. Be sure to get a tour while there.
Amazing. Not only looking at these events that had happened and showing sympathy, but going to the history of these events and having empathy ️
Guided tour was great! Thought provoking!
Its was pretty good and interesthing.
This is a small museum with a grand story. Their descents are well versed in the trials of the Jewish people during the war and of the political and military actions that were taking place. This is a must see/experience if you come to Naples, FL
Very nice museum with a very interesting presentation by the Docent. Very informative and a couple of hours Very Well spent.
Very moving experience, l highly recommend this museum for everyone.
Incredible experience. Guided tours lead by Norman, who is a Survivor.
I have not attended this location . I look forward to visiting in the future. A few years ago I visited the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC. I have also visited the Boxcar at Lehigh Senior High School in Lehigh Acres FL. I am very greatful there is this museum in Naples, FL. I am originally from Philadelphia, PA . I used to live within a mile from about two synagogues. My mother has witness to meeting holocaust survivors with the concentration camp tattoo marks.I encourage all to visit, experience, and learn about this reality.
Amazing a must see when you are in Naples
It is closed for renovations so I was told
Very good showing of the history
One of the best presentation we have ever seen!
Good source as an antidote for ignorance,particularly mine.
Nice tour.
Have to see it for yourself.
