  My family drove from Cincinnati. The drive was insignificant when compared to the experience we received. We were all moved by Eva's story and lesson in forgiveness as a means of taking back the ability to make peace with atrocity. This is one of the most important messages I have ever received.
  
  Donations are accepted. They do have tours. There is ample parking.

  I was doing some online research on forgiveness and came across Eva Mozes Kor. After watching some videos online, I wanted to see her in person and I finally did in November 2017. My only regret was not coming to this place sooner. I was able to learn more about forgiveness through the Question and Answer segment of her talk and asking her one-on-one after.
  Forgiving does not condone the past actions but instead frees you from the bitter response from it. That's my takeaway. Visiting this place was well worth the 6 hour drive.

  This was a remarkable and emotional museum. The interactive Q & A exhibit was extraordinary. For its size it was one of the most inspirational museums I've seen.

  Eva is incredible. She forgave all of the people who wronged her. I'd like to think I would forgive someone after wronging me, but on a scale as large as hers, I don't think I could bring myself to it. I met Eva three years ago. It was incredible to see someone so abused standing strong and unwavering. I recommend going to the Candles Holocaust Museum ever day of the week (Sunday and Monday excluded). It is an absolutely unforgettable experience and I wouldn't trade it for just about anything. Eva, you are an inspiration!

  Great visit. Got to hear Mrs Kor tell her story in person. Can't believe the original was burned down.

  Visiting Candles Holocaust Museum was an unforgettable experience. We even had a one-on-one visit with Eva Kor. If you haven't been there I urge you to go! It is a horror we never want to see repeated!!!

  This place is amazing. I am so glad a survivor is leaving this history behind because it shouldn't be forgotten. It might not be huge, but it's memorable.

  Thanks to Eva Kor, staff and volunteers for preserving this difficult and heartbreaking piece of history. Well organized and meaningful displays and use of up-to-date technology. Mrs. Kor delivers a powerful message of forgiveness.

  Every time I visit the Candles Holocaust Museum I love it even more. It's calm atmosphere gives an almost spiritual feeling to the stories and experiences told by the pictures and exhibits

  What a great experience! We were fortunate enough to get to speak with Eva Cor, a holocaust survivor.

  Great graphic wall displays with Holocaust information. It also promotes forgiveness and peace. Call ahead and see if a Docent will be there to tell their story. It's the most well-balanced museum of that kind that I have ever seen. Small but worth it.

  I love the authenticity, the courage, the amazing story of persistence and bravery. EVERYONE should visit here and learn about the living legend that is Eva Kor and
  all those who endured the Holocaust we must never forget!

  We must never forget. We live in a society where we have food, medical, doctors, and a warm home to sleep in at night. The victims of the holocaust didn't have any of that. Yet their love for God ran deep. At night when we sleep they are the stars that twinkle in the cold night sky that reminds me that they are my heroes. To those on the trains that went to Eastern Europe on those bleak long trips you were disrespected competently but in my book you are our guardian angels. Love lives on in your memory and you will never be forgotten. May all my Levi relatives rest in sweet peace of God's loving embrace.
  
  Go to this museum you will spend two hours there or more and it will change your life.
