Sighetu Marmației - Elie Wiesel House
Museum in Maramureș county
What it feels like
Quiet halls, curated objects, the smell of old wood and paper. Time slowed down by design.
The birthplace of Elie Wiesel, Nobel Peace Prize laureate (1986) and Holocaust survivor, is an impressive memorial museum. The permanent exhibition on the life of the Jewish community of Sighetu Marmației and on the Holocaust is deeply disturbing and necessary.
