Fodor's Review:

The history of Germany's Jews from the Middle Ages through today is chronicled here, from prominent historical figures to the evolution of laws regarding Jews' participation in civil society. An attraction in itself is the highly conceptual building, which was designed by Daniel Libeskind. Various physical "voids" represent the loss German society faces because of the Holocaust, and a portion of the exhibits documents the Holocaust itself. Reserve at least three hours for the museum, and devote more time to the second floor if you're already familiar with basic aspects of Judaica, which are the focus of the third floor.

It's true. The security is tight, but with all due respect, it's for a good reason. It definitely shouldn't deter anyone from visiting the museum. I thought it was thoughtful, moving, informative, and much larger than expected. It was a highlight of my trip.
