A great granddaughter of Holocaust survivors provided us with an insightful personal account of Jews in Dubrovnik. The small museum features intriguing artifacts and judaica. There's a small entrance fee.

An important and interesting landmark, but the entry fee felt quite high for what is on display, as there isn't much to see and no one to guide or explain.
