Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum

The Got Weekend take

Why go

The Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum is dedicated to teaching the history of the Holocaust and advancing human rights to combat prejudice, hatred, and indifference. Its permanent wings cover the Holocaust/Shoah, human rights, and a Pivot to America wing, and the Dimensions in Testimony Theater lets visitors ask questions and converse in real time with survivors through holographic technology. General admission also includes the special exhibition gallery and the film 'Voices of Courage' in the Cinemark Theater. The museum recommends visitors be at least 12 years old for the permanent exhibition due to sensitive subject matter; special exhibitions may suit younger audiences.

• Dimensions in Testimony Theater — ask questions and converse with survivors via holographic technology
• Three permanent wings: Holocaust/Shoah, Human Rights, and Pivot to America
