1. This small museum was founded by survivors who moved to the Houston area.
2. The docent who gave us the tour was in her twenties and explained that her grandfather ( a loving, kind man who raised her), was a big fan of Hitler's. They had pictures of Hitler in their house and items with swastikas. She did not realize how horrible Hitler was till she wrote a report on him in third grade and was expelled.
3. They had a train boxcar that was used to transport Jews.
4. They had a Danish fishing boat that was used to smuggle Danish Jews away.
5. There was a display with dirt from several of the well known concentration camps.
6. There was a movie called "Voices." Survivors were telling their stories but we ran out of time and didn't get to see it.
As all Holocaust museums are, this was a very moving experience.
