An absolute must see for those interested in Jewish history. My mother and I traveled through Austria and Poland to better understand the history of the part of the world where our family came from. This is an incredibly interesting museum and sheds light on the history of the Jewish people in Austria before WWII back to Medieval times. It's hard to imagine such things, but it is very eye opening and I think very invaluable to learning more about what life was like for Jewish people in Austria and Vienna back then. Also recommend going to Judenplatz itself to see the Holocaust memorial, can be before or after you go through the museum, but if you go before some of the information in the museum that references place markers in the plaza will make more sense.
