The Museum of Tolerance is located in Los Angeles CA, with an associated museum in New York City. It is designed to examine prejudice and racism in USA and the world with an emphasis on the history of the Holocaust.
The Museum of Tolerance was opened in 1993 and receives more than 350,000 visitors annually. It is a popular field trip destinations for schools in Southern California.
The most talked-about exhibit is "The Holocaust Section", where visitors can take their own place in some of the events of World War II. The power of these experiences is shared with others in discussion afterwards.
Another interesting feature of the museum is the testimonies of Holocaust survivors, often from live volunteers who tell their stories and answer questions.
It is definitely a great place to teach your child/children about human rights, history, cultural diversity, etc.
