| Upon entering the workshop's space, you think "this is really small, how am I going to spend 90 minutes here?" This thought soon dissipates as you realize you are in a small space which encompasses the enormous heartbreak of the 2,700 plus victims' families. You further realize that their pain is compounded by the sorrow seen in the faces of the FDNY recovery workers. This is an intimate place for you to see, hear, touch and feel a fraction of the profound agony thru Gary Suson's magnificent photographs and interactive workshop. The space which the Ground Zero Museum Workshop occupies is similar to a human heart, small in size, but rich in the love, sadness, loss, tears and memories that it holds on to. May none of us ever forget 9/11, the victims, their families and all of the brave recovery workers. |

| Though small, this museum had an intensive display of photos and items recovered from Ground Zero with audio stories of each display. Very tasteful account of what happened on 9/11/2001 that literally took you back in time to that horrific day New Yorkers endured. I was able to buy a beautiful book by Gary Suson who was the appointed photographer of this horrific event. I will treasure this book as an important part of American history that affected the entire world. The young tour guide did an awesome job of respectfully narrating the contents of this modest museum and, out of respect for this nation, ALL Americans visiting NYC should visit this Ground Zero Museum. I was there - my room overlooked Ground Zero...part of me felt self-loathing for looking down into it, yet I could not stop. God bless Gary Suson, the citizens of this awesome city, and God bless all of us. THANK YOU. |

| Much has been written about September 11th. We've all read the accounts of what occured that day and we've seen pictures that have shocked us. That being said, there are stories (and images) within the story of September 11th, things that were not reported/seen in any media formats. Why? Because the media was not allowed on-site access to the World Trade Center site. However, that changed in November 2001 when Gary Marlon Suson, a New York photographer, was gained unlimited access to the site. He soon gained the trust of the police and firefighters who were involved in the cleanup/recovery. Suson's museum includes many artifacts that he was allowed to remove from the actual site. You can even hold an actual piece of World Trade Center steel, which has been shaped into a cross. The images really convey a powerful message. They show frustration, exaustion, and sadness. Every artifact and image is presented with the utmost respect and dignity. These are the accounts of a man who was there, day in and day out, right alongside the firefighters as they searched for their fallen brothers. A visit to the Ground Zero Museum Workshop will allow you to become more informed about September 11th and it's aftermath. Even more importantly, the images will provide a window to the soul of many recovery workers who gave all they had for nine months, helping to heal a strong yet bruised nation. |

| A truly unique and very intimate experience, the Workshop is like nothing else you will see connected to 9/11. I was at first apprehensive that the very small space containing the Workshop would lead to disappointment, but in the end I was glad as each of the photographs and exhibits impacts such an emotional punch that even the 2-hour visit wasn't enough to do it all justice. Viewing 9/11 from the perspective of the recovery effort is humbling in a way I can't begin to describe, and my visit to the Workshop is something that will stay with me for a long time. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Workshop to others and will certainly return during my next visit to NYC. |
