Simon Wiesenthal Center Museum of Tolerance

There are very few museums and establishments in the world that are dedicated so sincerely in a cause as the Simon Wiesenthal Center Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles. Although the Simon Wiesenthal Center has campuses and museums in multiple cities all over the globe, the one in Los Angeles has achieved unprecedented fame and has found patrons in few of the biggest names of the world.

One must be wondering what the Simon Wiesenthal Center is all about. Well, the mission of the organization is to promote change in the world by ending hate, terrorism, promote human rights and primarily stand by Israel and Jews all over the world. The Museum of Tolerance is the educational wing of the organization and aims at teaching, through the lessons of the Holocaust, the importance of tolerance towards one and all.

Every year, the Simon Wiesenthal Center Museum of Tolerance is visited by over 350,000 people who take a Los Angeles travel, in terms of knowledge. What is best is that most of the visitors are youngsters, and the impact of such museums is far more than any art museum in providing important lessons of life. The multimedia museum also caters to a large base of audience all over the world which cannot visit the museum by the means of video conferencing.

The well stocked library and archive section provides a lot of resources for anyone who wishes to read more about the holocaust and its effects on the modern world. The museum is the recipient of the Global Peace and Tolerance award, which it won in December 2004.
