Emotional but Powerful
The Holocaust Memorial Center Zekelman Family Campus (HMC) is a 55,000-square-foot museum and library archive in Farmington Hills. Our mission is to engage, educate and empower by remembering the Holocaust. As Michigan’s only Holocaust museum, we are an important source of humanities education for the state. We educate over 100,000 people each year about the systematic, state-sponsored murder of millions, and why each of us must respect and stand up for the rights of others if we are to prevent future discrimination, hate crimes, and genocide. Our exhibits feature artifacts, text panels, photos, video testimonies, and artworks ranging from the representative to the abstract. Art is an essential medium we use to convey challenging subject matter such as the magnitude of the tragedy, man’s inhumanity to man and the banality of evil. Paintings, sculptures, photography, and films are on display in both our permanent and temporary exhibit galleries.

Everyone should see this and learn about this history
This is a very somber place that everyone should see. You can’t leave without a tear in your eye. Between timelines and pictures and movies of people real life experiences it was an an amazing morning visit. Went at 9:30 on Sunday morning so there were no crowds which is great for a Covid visit. I can’t recommend this museum enough.

Holocaust Museum
I've wanted to visit this museum and I finally made a point to do it this week. My friends and I went on the tour with the docent and she provided many interesting details. Even though we know it all happened, it is appalling to know that humans were treated this way. It is an atrocity that cannot be forgotten. I have also visited the hideaway used by Anne Frank and her family in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Like this, that was truly a very humbling experience. This Holocaust Museum is definitely worth a visit.
