A very well set up museum! I appreciated the interwoven story of South African Jews throughout the museum and how they were affected by the Holocaust. Settled among many other museums, definitely take the time to spend some time here.

One of the best historical information places in cape town. The layout of the museum is exceptional, with lots of information being displayed but in a way that it isn't too difficult to comprehend. The best way to learn about the holocaust and it's free

This was so well set up, we chose to visit from the tour bus. We visited the holocaust memorial and it was such an eye opener. Very good and accurate information. You can spend hours in here just reading and observing the primary sources supplied here. Definitely worth a visit and the lady at the front was so lovely and informative.

Always worth spending time is this important and contemplative space, trying to come to terms with a haunting reality. An interesting conversation about archival preservation based on discussing Three Minutes a documentary to be shown at the Encounters International South African Documentary Film Festival. mapmyway.co.za will keep you posted.

I'm already 25 years old and this week was the first time I've found out that Cape Town has a Holocaust Museum...

I played tourist and paid the museum a visit.

The security gentleman was so nice and welcoming. Top point to you sir!

The receptionists were very nice and gave me little pieces of information about the museum... This is so amazing! Having staff with knowledge about the content of the museum. Top marks!

The experience was greatly sad. We'll never what it is like to be tortured and broken like that...

The museum offers a great education to people not so familiar with the history of World War II and the reign of Hitler.

Proud and honored to have visited.
