David,
I don't remember a whole lot from experiences when I was a kid. I didn't
really feel like I started visiting them until I was in college, so my
answer may not be what you are looking for. However, I would have to say
that going through the Holocaust Museum was something I will never forget.
It was truly an emotional experience.
