Reviews
A must see. Excellently put together, the museum takes the visitor on a journey through the holocaust. Featuring historical artifacts, information, multimedia displays it reflects not just the facts of the history, but the humanity of the victims and the tragedy of the holocaust. A vivid reminder of a terrible time in the human timeline.
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.
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.
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 freeVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Amazing place to visit So much extra information to learnVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
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.
WOW! What a neat and well set up museum, really cool! It makes you reflect on the past. I'm so thankful that this place is in South Africa
Anyone who finds themselves in Cape Town -local or tourist- should spend a day in its entirety at this museum. World War 2 has proven to be one of history’s most crucial points regarding the atrocious capabilities of man, and the more time one spends immersed in the barely-believable, heart-wrenching accounts of this terrible time, the more one realises how important it is to fight prejudice and self elevation, and to prioritise one’s neighbour.
It was very informative, thoroughly absorbed all that shared history, from the Time of entry, We were hosted beautifully, covid 19 protocols were in place adequately. Thank you so much for having us here.
We have visited many Holocaust museums around the world. This was very well done and informative. Tells the history and timeline of the hedonist act.
