Thought provoking
This remembrance is incredibly well designed and thought out. Booking in advance was easy to do. The staff at the information desk were very friendly and helpful. It is a very busy museum and we were jostled a bit by large groups of school children who seemed to lack any spacial awareness but we were able to look at and watch the exhibits nonetheless. Its not an experience that makes you feel uplifted but rather sombre, sad and sickened. I leraned a lot and will have some images in my mind for a very long time and in a way that is a good thing. I felt very emotional throughout my visit. We spent 3 hours there and that covered most exhibits. There is a good restaurant, toilets are very clean.

Interesting, but spoilt by too many tour groups
The history museum there was quite interesting, you could buy an audioguide at the entrance, but I would recommend not (for English) as there are information boards around the museum. They had a section of pavement from the Warsaw ghetto, a section of train track and wagon from Auschwitz and many other things. It was slightly ruined by the huge numbers of tour groups being pushed through the museum as they are constant one after the other and they are such big groups that when they stop no one else can get past, they are really annoying and ruin the visit for individual visitors.
