Holocaust Memorial/Museum (Depending on where you went)

I'm not quite sure why, but I don't remember much from the Holocaust museum. It wasn't really that memorable an experience for me. However, when I try and extract one thing that I think of from the museum, it was the part where one was able to walk through a model of one of the cars that as much as 100 people were packed into. It was small! And I guess that's why I remember it so much. It was also really dark inside of the cart, making it feel really... off-putting I guess. That part of the museum I think was just made to feel kind of realistic, because the train cart was actually on top of a set of rails. This is what would really allow someone to put themselves in the Holocaust victims' shoes. I guess that from visiting the museum I got a different take on the Holocaust, because the museum made it seem more like second-person narrative, through which one could place themselves in the shoes of a Holocaust victim and experience things like standing inside of the rail cars.
