History involves all of us. The museum is divided into ticketed and non-ticketed sections, but no fee is charged unless tickets are reserved through Ticketmaster, a private agency. Before entering the ticketed exhibits, visitors are given an identification card booklet which tells the story of a real person who lived during the Holocaust. Each page of the booklet corresponds with a time period depicted on each of the museum's three floors. At the end of each exhibit, visitors are asked to turn the page and a new time period is entered on the next floor.
Visitors learn whether the person lived or died at the end of their tour.
Some University students were moved by the exhibits. Those enemies included Jews, Gypsies, communists, and gay and disabled people. The second level takes visitors through a hallway of old shoes worn by the victims and into the concentration camps and the medical laboratories of the Holocaust. Lieberman said seeing the shoes moved her the most. They're so real.
