| The visit of the workshop was very important for me, because I haven't been able to fully understand and cope with the tragic happenings seven years ago. You've seen a lot of photos and imagery before, but getting to know some of the stories behind those pictures first hand helps to fully comprehend what that day meant to the lives of so many people.
The museum was really intimate and private and everything was just right to allow for you to concentrate on your own exploration of what was there in front of you. However, the staff was really helpful answering any questions and providing any emotional support you might need.
Altogether, I want to thank all the people that have collaborated in this project, and especially firefighter Gary Marlon Suson, who has left me impressed with his incredible strength of character. |

| The Ground Zero Museum Tour is a combination of a regular museum and an art show, with the emphasis on the latter since it was put together by the Ground Zero official photographer who understandably wishes to display his work. What makes it special is the interaction between his photographs of the recovery effort and the artifacts recovered. Everything is done very reverentially and respectfully. The museum is in fact one small quiet room in which visitors are shown a couple of short films about the project, and then are allowed to individually select those photographs about which they wish to hear narratives (with headphones). |

| For starters, I would like to start off by saying , the tour guides were very nice and professional. They explained thoroughly what we were to see, hear, and expect among the two hours of the stay. Even though the physical space is small, there was plenty of information to see, and hear through the state of the art audio tour. It put me personally back in the time period of September 2001. At times it made me emotional which was to expect. Just seeing the pieces of rubble, parts of the building and personal belongings that were gathered from the site just put me in another state of mind of tranquility, anger, and then saddness form all that happened that day. I LOVE the pictorial book that I purchased. It really explains the reality of what the photographer went through for the period of time that he and the firefighters/police/ EMT'S delt with this unbelievable tragedy. Thank you very much for the memory. There is not a day that goes by that I could forget what happened on that day. "I will never forget". And now, I have a new memory to remember daily!

| I was so thankful we ( a group of 3 friends) decided to do this activity. The museum is put together so well with all the displays of the photographs and artifacts. Listening to the audio narration that told the stories behind each picture was so fascinating. It almost felt like you were right there at the time of the recovery. It was a very emotional experience for me. Everything is done in such a respectful and meaningful way. I would highly recommend this event. |
