Sehr sympathische Museumsangestellte. Von den absolut unsympathischen und unfähigen Pförtnern sollte man sich nicht abschrecken lassen.

Eine sehr beeindruckende Begegnung mit der Historie und dem Leidensweg des deutschen Judentums mit zahlreichen Exponaten und sehr freundlichem Personal. Alles sehr gepflegt und kein digitaler Schnick-Schnack, dafür authentische Informationen über das jüdische Leben in Unterfranken und Würzburg.
