点评:We are three senior women who take occasional road trips within the country and research like crazy before we leave home. We were surprised to learn there is a Holocaust Museum in Terre Haute and added it to our itinerary as a must see.
Visiting this Museum is a compelling experience that we highly recommend, especially at this time in our country's history. We had a 19-year old grandson with us who had many questions and came away with valuable information after this visit.
The video at the beginning of the tour offers insight into the experiences of the Museum's founder, Eva Kor, and her twin sister, Miriam, who were subjected to the horrific experiments of Dr. Joseph Mengele, "The Angel of Death", at Auschwitz. There is no mention of specific atrocities but, rather, a telling of their life stories.
There is also an interactive three-dimensional video of Eva. The programming is set up so that audience members can ask her a question and her likeness will answer.
There is a small charge to enter the museum and it is money well spent. After the video visitors can walk around a separate area to view displays, illustrations and photos with general information about this period in history.
The museum is not open every day so consult the website for days and times. I believe we spent a bit more than an hour during our visit. There were not crowds or lines to contend with.
翻译:我们三位老年妇女偶尔会在国内自驾游,出门前会疯狂地研究相关资料。得知特雷霍特有一座大屠杀博物馆后,我们非常惊喜,并把它列为了必看景点。
参观这座博物馆是一次引人入胜的体验,我们强烈推荐,尤其是在我们国家历史上的这个时期。我们带着一个19岁的孙子,他有很多疑问,参观结束后也收获了宝贵的信息。
导览开始时的视频深入介绍了博物馆创始人伊娃·科尔和她的双胞胎妹妹米里亚姆的经历,她们在奥斯维辛遭受了“死亡天使”约瑟夫·门格勒博士的恐怖实验。视频中没有提及具体的暴行,而是讲述了她们的人生故事。
此外,还有一个伊娃的互动3D视频。视频的设置使得观众可以向她提问,她的肖像会回答。
博物馆入场费不高,但物有所值。看完视频后,游客可以参观一个单独的区域,欣赏展览、插图和照片,了解这段历史的概况。
博物馆并非每天都开放,请咨询网站了解开放日期和时间。我们参观的时间大概在一个多小时左右。参观过程中没有拥挤的人群,也不需要排队。
