The museum was designed and built by the architect **James Info Feed of Pei Cobb Freed & Partners** and the contractor was **Blake Construction Company**. The construction of the Museum took almost four years, from July 1989 until April 1993. It cost approximately $168 million to build the Museum and $90 million were for the building's construction and $78 million for the exhibits. The Museum building has permanent and temporary exhibition spaces, a research library and archives, two theaters, an interactive computer learning center, ||< || The **Holocaust Museum** honors all the people on the holocaust. It was made to make people reflect and realize that their lives aren't as hard as they think. People in the holocaust are honored because of their bravery and their strength. Inside the Museum, there are a lot of sculptures and pictures that are there to remember and to make people have a better of what was happening inside there. Something ||< || When I went inside, the first thing that caught my attention was that they gave me a fake passport that was of a Jew of the concentration camp. I was supposed to be her and it was supposed to be all the things I went through. Connecting and really feeling in her shoes made me feel very sad because I realized that all those things actually happened to other people. Inside I learned many things and everything was really interesting. Something I was surprised to find out was that they used their hair to make shoes and clothes because that way the clothes were hotter. While passing through the Museum, ||< ||
 * < In our trip to **Washington D.C.**, we visited many interesting museums and memorials. One of my favorites was the **Holocaust Museum.** The **Holocaust Museum** was made to honor everyone that died in the concentration camps and heading to them. In the **Holocaust Museum** there are a lot of videos and information about those times and about Hitler and very interesting things brought all the way from Germany. The **Holocaust Museum** honors all the people who died in that period of time and all the events that happened. The US honors them because I think they know how brave all of the Jews in the Holocaust were.
 * < classrooms, a memorial space, and areas for discussion. The federal government donated the land and the money was collected with more than 200,000 private donations. The Museum is 265,000 square feet in size. More than 30 million people have visited the Museum since it opened in April 1993.
 * < that really impressed me was the shoes. There was a huge pile of shoes and in the description it said that those were the only things that survived when they burned them because they were made of a material that couldn’t become into ashes.

I thought of all the people I know who have suffered and it made me realize that I have not really suffered in my life. Something I liked a lot was the memorial space. It was beautiful and really silent. There was a lot of people sitting down and reflecting and thinking about everything that happened during that time. I am really happy that someone decided to build this Museum because it makes a lot of people learn new things that they didn’t know before and I am really glad that there were that contributed and donated money to make it all happen. ===== media type="youtube" key="6MPeKNBZW6o" height="390" width="480" Bibliography: Works Cited "Resultados De La Búsqueda De Imágenes De Google De Http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c60bf53ef011570ee6d10970b-500wi."// Google//.

Holocaust Museum Washington D.C. holds many historical places that express and represent a diversity of events that lead to the powerful nation that is now. One of those places is the Holocaust Museum that is a memorial for the U.S. about the disastrous Holocaust. It also prevents genocide in the future by training foreign policy professionals. The museum is leader in giving it help and main attention to the crisis in Sudan. The holocaust t is part of the Mall, with sight to the Washington Monument, and across from the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. The mall wanted to have something related to the holocaust because they had all sorts of monuments and memorial so the wanted to include the something about the holocaust. The Museum provides a powerful lesson in the fragility of freedom. It also teaches millions of people about the danger of unchecked hatred and the need to prevent genocide, not to mention that it honors the million people that died in the holocaust. The U.S. honors them so that they remember what genocide leads to and why it is important to prevent it. To maintain this lesson alive for further generations to learn about this event in October 16, 1985 James Ingo Freed, with the planning help of several architectors and the allowance of the congress who, created a museum to have a live relationship between Museum building and the exhibitions within. To be able to do this design, the architector had to visit several holocaust museums that included concentration camps and ghettos, so that he could examine the structure to build the museum. The result was a collection of abstract forms invented and drawn from memory. Every visitor makes its own interpretations about the museum everything in the museum are for thought and reflexion in Freed´s words “There are no literal references to a particular place or occurrence from the historic event. Instead the architectural form is open-ended so the museum becomes a resonator of memory.” The museum was created to engage the visitor and stir emotions. Even though it took 8 years for the planning and the building, the greatest struggle was for Freed himself because he had a hard time planning how to create a building that expressed sadness, horror, and grief. Though it was a permanent Exhibit it was never changed through the years except for some technical issues due to the working conditions of some technological devices. I don´t think this building can compares itself to the other buildings around it because it is a unique resonator of memory, besides most of the structures surrounding the Holocaust Museum are from the government so they have a different architecture. The museum was built to honor the Holocaust and express the enormity of the event. In conclusion the Holocaust Museum was made to honor the Events that took place in 1941-1945. They are honored and remembered because it is important to know about the injustice and unfairness events that lead to this war. HOLOCAUST MUSEUM By: liz manzur

Washington DC is the main place in history where everything is placed for you to go and visit. If I went to a place where there’s a Holocaust museum I’d obviously go. I love everything about the Holocaust museum the best is that it honors the millions of people who died during the World War ll. The purpose of this museum is to honor the people who were murdered and also to remind the holocaust happened so nations assure it does not happen again. The museum shows everything artworks, publications, and artifacts that relate to the Holocaust. The museum collects material evidence, distributes educational materials, and produces public programming. The Holocaust Museum also holds Holocaust remembrances; it has a memorial space where everyone is in silence and praying for the ones who died. The building material used for the exterior of the museum is a combination of red brick and stone; and the other side, is the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, that is made of granite blocks. The bricks are from the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in Poland and from the brick wall of the Warsaw ghetto in Poland. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is the only modern structure in this neighborhood where all the other buildings trait classic architecture with Greek columns or traditional 19th century details. Neo-Classical structural design was the style favored by the world's most famous recreational architect, Adolf Hitler, so that was not an option for our national Holocaust museum. James Ingo Freed with other architects started visiting concentration camps and everything to get an idea of how was it and how were they going to build it. It was opened in 1993 and it took 4 years to be constructed. President William Jefferson Clinton ordered this to be built. The building was designed by James Ingo Freed, [|Pei Cobb Freed & Partners]. It was built on Washington D.C, donated by the federal government and funded with more than 200,000 private donations. In the Holocaust museum they show everything that happened especially how they suffered and how they were treated. U.S Participated on this war too but the main point is that it was a massive experience that killed millions of Jews, Catholics, gays and others. It calls my attention that the pictures are really strong and I believe this is a very good designed building that shows everything I want to know about the holocaust. When you visit these holocaust museums you stay in shock because it is really impressive. Everything in the National Mall is important but the Holocaust museum is the one that shows you tough, sadistic and unforgettable moments in history. The Museum building contains temporary exhibition spaces; Remember the Children: Daniel's Story -- an exhibition for children and families that recounts the history of the Holocaust from the perspective of a child in Nazi Germany; an extensive research library and archives; two theaters; the Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies; a Children's Tile Wall; an interactive computer learning center; classrooms; the Hall of Witness; a memorial space, the Hall of Remembrance; and an education center. It’s my dream to visit this place because for me it is a perfect visiting place, I want to know more about what happened.

What called my attention in this museum is that it shows you how the Nazis treated the Jews, in a very cruel way, during the Holocaust, during World War II. What I found very interesting in this museum was a very long wall where it says all the names of all the Jews that died in the Holocaust. I learned more about the Holocaust, like how the Nazis would kill the Jews, how the Nazis would treat the Jews, how the Nazis ruined the lives of every Jew in Europe, and more. I was surprised to find out that about 6 million Jews died during the Holocaust. When I visited the Holocaust museum I felt very sad I saw how the Jews would suffer, how they were treated, the materials the Nazis used with them and what Nazis where capable of doing to the Jews. What I already knew was that the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler is the responsible one to make the Holocaust happen, and World War II to. Since its dedication on April 22, 1993, the Museum has welcomed nearly 30 million visitors, including more than 8 million school children. It has also welcomed 91 heads of state and more than 3,500 foreign officials from over 132 countries. The Museum's visitors come from all over the world, and more than 90 percent of the Museum's visitors are not Jewish. Its website had 25 million visits in 2008 from an average of 100 different countries daily. 35% of these visits were from outside the United States, including more than 238,000 visits from Muslim-majority countries. Designed by Holocaust survivor and architect James Ingo Freed of Pei Cobb Freed & Partners , in association with Finegold Alexander + Associates Inc , the USHMM is designed to be a "resonator of memory". The outside of the building disappears into the neoclassical, Georgian , and modern architecture of Washington, D.C. Upon entering, each architectural feature becomes a new element of architectural allusion to the Holocaust. In designing the building, Freed researched post World War II German architecture and visited Holocaust sites throughout Europe. The Museum building and the exhibitions within are intended to evoke deception, fear, solemnity, and a lack of the comfort and grandiosity usually associated with Washington, D.C.   The **United States Holocaust Memorial Museum** is the United States  ' official memorial to the Holocaust. Adjacent to the National Mall in Washington, D.C.  , the USHMM provides for the documentation, study, and interpretation of Holocaust history. It is dedicated to helping leaders and citizens of the world confront hatred, prevent genocide, promote human dignity, and strengthen democracy.

** Andres Arias: ** ** US Holocaust Memorial Museum ** <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt;"> The Holocaust Museum is built to remember the horrors and tragedy that the Jewish had to go through in hands of the Nazis. It has the intention to keep in the memory of when the US Holocaust Memorial Museum opened in Washington DC, there was another religious genocide taking place between Bosnians and the Serbs. America has a Holocaust Museum since it was the most important event in world history. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt;">The building’s design intends to bring to you memory the Holocaust. It is built in a modern architectural style that Hitler would not have liked. It was designed by a Holocaust survivor and architect James Ingo Freed of Pei Cobb Freed & Partners, in association with Finegold Alexander + Associates Inc. Its intention is to provide a personal experience showing the horror of Hitler’s tyranny and the terror of the genocide of the Jews. Although the museum is not intended for children under 11 years of age, there is a section based on a fictional book called Daniel’s Story that is designed for children as young as 6 years old. The intention is to introduce them to the basic facts of the Holocaust. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt;">The museum is located at 100 Raoul Wallenberg Place, and is open every day except Christmas Day and Yom Kippur. The most interesting thing about the museum, in my opinion, was that I had the chance to talk to a Holocaust survivor. She was an 85 year old woman who had been a prisoner in several concentration camps. = Holocaust museum by Gerardo Santos:  = ** __<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Holocaust __ **** __<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> Museum __ **<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> The Holocaust Museum is an exceptional museum in the United States of America. This museum is full of fantastic things from the World War 2. Here, tons of memories, items, and very interesting facts are stored. It also has amazing purpose of why it was built. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> This phenomenal museum was built as a cause of what happened on World War 2. During the war plenty of soldiers and families defend their nation. Unfortunately many people lost there lives meanwhile they were trying to end the war. This people were too important to be forgotten, so in their honor, The Holocaust Museum was constructed. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> On September 27, 1979, The Holocaust Museum was suggested. Until 1979 the idea of the museum appeared. It was crucial for the owner to make a museum because it would be a great business because many people all around the world would be interested in going to the museum. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> The Museum was finally constructed on April 22, 1993. Since the suggestion of the probable idea of making a museum, 14 years passed by. The museum was supposed to be a great foundation so it took many years so a quality building was made. Many people were involved in the construction of the Holocaust Museum but the main designer was James Ingo Freed. This architect made a marvelous job. The museum was created in a very modern way. Mr. James Ingo Freed used Georgian architecture. This type of architecture gives the museum a very realistic view. It looks very original and it shape is outstanding. The view from the outside, it is very particular, it looks very neoclassical. This type of architecture is very similar to the one that Germans used during the World War 2. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> Nowadays the museum is located in 100 Raoul Wallenberg Place, SW Washington DC, United States of America. The museum has 4 stories. These stories are full of artifacts and of evidence of the war and of antiquities of the Holocaust. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> The museum has a wonderful collection of data that nobody has in all Earth. It has eight different acquisition ruptures.
