After its creation there was public backlash, people were wondering why they would a build a museum for holocaust survivors in a place where they did do anything to prevent it from happening (Source E). Groups and agencies must look at the possible ethical effects a monument may

There are also monuments that are more salient and mention the concentration camps that the individuals survived (Appendix B, Figure 2). The community purposefully includes monument inscriptions to show an individual’s connection to the Holocaust. This action creates tribute to those who were victims of the Holocaust. This practice also creates a collaborative means for the community to mourn over these survivors.

There is a lot that goes into the making of a memorial. A lot to be considered before they can start thinking about what the memorial is going to be; a huge bronze statue or a plaque with their name on it, and where. Controversy is also something that needs to be thought about in deciding if it would be a good idea or not to have a memorial of someone or something. Those factors should depend on the space they are working on, as well as where, and the fact that sometimes it’s best to stay away from the subject as the public may not agree.

The main contention is that the US Holocaust Memorial Museum is merely associated with death, whilst Auschwitz-Birkenau is of death and possesses a crucial locational authenticity

The Museum of Tolerance is a place that not only is a home to a memoriam of the Holocaust but it also tries to break the barriers of racism, prejudices, and discrimination and tries to teach and incorporate in people that even though everyone is different, everyone shares a universal attribute, that each person around the world no matter their race, gender, country of origin, or choice of religion still bleeds red, feels pain and are human beings. As soon as people realize this fact and accept that no one set of people are better than the other, places like The Museum of Tolerance will not be needed but till then we need to remember what hatred, prejudices, discrimination and the inability to accept people for who they are has and can do

Going to the Holocaust Memorial Museum in D.C. it really opened my eyes to how these group of people was treated so bad but they still kept to their faith and didn’t lose hope. Another thing I thought was interesting that the museum they did was give you an Identification Card of a person and it told their story and short background of their life and at the end it told you if they survived the Holocaust so it was sad at the end to find out the person I had didn’t survive. I think everyone who has the chance to visit the museum because you really see how the Jews were treated before the Holocaust and how they were even treated unfairly in other European countries, not just Germany. Being an African American and knowing what my ancestors had to go through during slavery it shows a lot of similarities like being the outside group amongst a race of people who think they are more powerful than you. However, from the Holocaust, I think the nation has really started to put forth laws that protect the minority racial group.

In the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum many features include vivid exhibits, memorials, plenty of educational opportunities for all ages, and

The one thing that I wish they would implement to their museum to make it more interesting is to add more Holocaustic casted models. I got this idea by visiting the African American museum. And what set them apart was that they had a whole set of statue models on display to place a person in that mindset of being there. If the Holocaust museum would issue more life-like cast, then I think people will feel more engaged in the tour. In the African American museum, I remember the faces on the life-like models. The faces with looks of confusions, fear, and sometimes happiness. I think by adding this would bring a whole new element to the Holocaust museum. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the opportunity. I do plan on returning in the near future. Maybe not to that museum in particular, but a more official museum like the ones in Germany. I plan on traveling across the world one day, and visiting the Holocaust museum in Aw>>> is defiantly on my

Have you heard of the Holocaust Museum located in Washington D.C? It is the largest Holocaust related Museum in all of America and as of June 2015, 38.6 million people have visited the museum, 24% of which are school children. Visiting the museum is very moving, and once you enter the exhibition, it is eerily silent, except for the several videos playing throughout the museum. Planning on heading to the National Holocaust Museum soon? It will be a moving experience, and bringing your kids would help their education along as letting them know what really happened.

Due to visiting the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum I’m now very aware of the prevention committee that exists to prevent future mass atrocities.

The Holocaust Memorial Center Zekelman Family Campus is about the horrendous events such as hate crimes that were happening during World War II. The definition of Holocaust from the museum website perspective is “The Holocaust was the systematic, bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of approximately six million Jews and five million other persons by the Nazi regime and its collaborators” (Holocaust and Survivor Defined.). “The term Holocaust comes from the Greek words of “holos” (whole) and “kaustos” (burn) which was used to describe a sacrificial offering burned on an alter” (History.com). The museum has been around for more than 25 years, in Farmington Hills and has been acknowledged by the Wall Street Journal. The museum does not only reflect on the evil, but also the strength and the courage of the victims affected in this genocide. The purpose of the Holocaust museum is to remember those who have passed away and survived, as well as, to teach and inform others about the events. There were many exhibits to choose from such as, the Jewish heritage, the descent into Nazism and the postwar period. The exhibit I will be focusing on is called, The Camp System.

The notion of the Holocaust denial has led to a new vitality in memorial building and those memorials have become interactive buildings rather than urban monuments. The allocation of a plot in Washington DC’s mall to a monumental Holocaust Museum (James Ingo Freed, 1993) is the ultimate recognition of the outrage provoked by the proposal that the Holocaust never happened”. Berlin’s museum would similarly provoking people and problems based on the Jewish population in the city, and the reaction some people in the area still have against Jews. However this city was one of the fastest cities to bounce back and change the people’s way of life practically overnight once the wall fell in

The short answer to the above-entitled question is no, the Museum of Tolerance is not tolerant. The long answer, since everything has both long and short answers these days, is the Museum tries to be as tolerant as it can, but as my guide commented "humanity is simply incapable of not being prejudiced."

To date they have collected over 30 billion paper clips from almost every continent! They have also received over 30 thousand + letters etc. from people. Since they were sent so many paper clips and letters, they have a authentic german rail car (the one the Jews would have been transported in) and have glass cases filled with paper clips and the letters. The full memorial was finished in the year of 2001 and is now part of the Children's Holocaust
