G	Georg Jirsa on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Ein sehr wichtiger Ort, der Geschichte sichtbar macht und ins Jetzt holt. Jüdische Geschichte? Sicher. Aber es geht auch um österreichische Geschichte: niemals vergessen! A very important place that makes history visible and brings it to the present. Jewish history? For sure. But it is also about Austrian history: never forget!
F	Fritz Wolf on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Schönes kleines Museum, das den Besucher durch das jüdische Jahr und den jüdischen Alltag führt, interessanterweise ist die Synagoge noch erhalten. Nice little museum that guides the visitor through the Jewish year and everyday Jewish life, interestingly the synagogue is still preserved.

ר	ריבה ארז on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ מוזיאון קטן ומיושן שמציג את תולדות הקהילה היהודית בבורגלנד. מאד מעניין לבקר שם אך ההזנחה מרגיזה. A small, old-fashioned museum that displays the history of the Jewish community in Burgland. Very interesting to visit there but the neglect is annoying.

S	Suvendu Das on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The museum is housed in the so-called Wertheimer house, a historic building named after the Hungarian Rabbi Samson Wertheimer (1658-1724), who was also court and war factor. This is the first house on the former Judengasse that went all the way to the older Jewish cemetery. Sabbath chain, basin and the tankard of the Levites over the gate of a neighbouring house remind of the Jewish past. The Wolf Family acquired the house in 1875. Until the forced “arianisation” in 1938 the house served as wine whole sale outlet of the Wolf family. The jewel of the museum is a private synagogue. The walk around on the first floor gives a good overview of Jewish festivities and stages of life, as well as a library. On the ground floor there is a Moses-cycle comprised of 50 pictures painted by Uriel Birnbaum as well as an area for alternating exhibitions.
M	Markus Kaiser on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Eisenstadt alias Ash was home to a century old and vibrant Jewish community of wine and textile merchants. Since only a few families survived the Shoah, the museum does not only tell their story, but the story of the colourful religious life in the historical pannonia region. Not easy to swallow but well worth a visit.
