Very well organized lucky for us. We have Ulysses, who was there to help tell us everything English cause nothing was in English. Basically it’s a very interesting museum and lucky for us. We got to see the synagogue definitely worth your time only negative I can say is I wish everything-also had information in English also they only take cash only

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.
