Museum Of Tolerance

A majority of the exhibit was technology based or was made up entirely of dioramas. It was very interesting to discover that the museum uses a mediated based approach to inform their audience of the events that happened during the time of the Holocaust. To heighten the experience, the museum hands out cards with pictures of Jewish people who were affected by the Holocaust. At the end of the tour, there is a scanner that will reveal the fate of the person on your card. I received Peter Freistadt. Peter Freistadt was born on October 13, 1931, in Bratislavia, Czechoslovakia. With the arrival of anti-Semitic laws in the 1940s, him and his family had to wear the Star of David on their sleeves and a brand. The star branded them for all to see that they are jewish. They were required to hire a non-Jewish man to overlook their family owned business. They were forced to leave their home. Peter Freistadt was one of the lucky few to escape the ghettos, and the horrors that followed. There was one section within the exhibit called "The Hall of Testimony". This is where you can hear the stories of Holocaust survivors. This provides live testimony of the events from the period and semi fills the void that was caused due to the previous lack of artifacts. The Museum honors the survivors in a permanent exhibit titled “Witness to Truth”. The

The Holocaust, a morbid atrocity that made people question humanity, was the cause of millions of deaths. One of those victims of this brutality was Anne Frank, a young Jewish girl who hid from the Nazis along with her family. Although she was merely ordinary, Anne Frank kept a diary which became a significant, historical artifact in the modern world as it details her account of concealing her identity from the outside world. Her story, told in an innocent perspective, allows individuals to reflect the dreadful events of the Holocaust and acknowledge how far we have come since then. Even though she died along with millions of other victims from the Holocaust, her spirit still exists thanks to her articulately written words in her diary which is now considered one of the most famous works of literature. Anne Frank’s legacy still lives on today because her story provides a primary source of a dark period in history, insightful contemplation of humanity, and motivation for people to stand up against unjustified persecution.

The Holocaust is an event in history which will be entrenched within peoples’ minds for eternity; the Holocaust affected many people, including the Jewish, the mentally challenged, homosexuals and, prisoners of war (POW). There are several accounts from survivors of the Holocaust, but many, people were not as fortunate. The horrors from this event were hidden. Yet children like Anne Frank, were terribly affected. The holocaust has affected millions of people and their story should be known.

One of the most horrific events in all of history… the Holocaust. The Holocaust in all killed over 6 million Jewish people, but there are still some survivors today to tell the their story so we can learn. A few never want to speak about the war and the one’s that do have taught us things we can’t even imagine. Meet Elie Wiesel, writer, teacher and survivor of the Holocaust.

Learning about Inge Auerbacher has changed my views about the Holocaust in multiple ways. One thing that I am going to take away from this is to not treat someone worse than I would treat myself just because they are different than me. After I saw all the pain , emotionally and physically, that Inge went through, I would never want to make them go through that. I also want to start to include more people in activities I do. Many times I stick with my one friend group because I feel comfortable around them but I now want to go and include more people that are different than the people I usually hang out

There are many disturbing facts and many uplifting things about the Holocaust. Many Jews had to go into hiding like the Franks. They had to live in an attic for so many years until the were found by the Nazis.

The Museum of Tolerance showcased a lot on discrimination and violence that has happened not only to the Jews during the world war, but also throughout time in history. It examines racism and prejudice throughout the world and incorporated several topic that was went over in class. The act of racism negatively affected many people, including leaders and people we regard highly in today's society. The main focus starts with how hate rose in Germany and how Hitler came to power, to the violence that came out of these hateful thoughts, and how even to this day there are still hate crime. The Museum of Tolerance included sections that had many boards of text that described the situation at various time. It also had videos, and a whole hour long

Imagine walking through a hallway of pictures and artifacts, feeling so much emotion, reliving the past of the Holocaust. Once a person walks through those doors to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum he or she immediately feel those emotions pouring from the walls and flooding from the visitors all around feeling what it once felt like to be apart of the Holocaust and witness such a horrendous tragedy. Because the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum provides many exhibitions and visuals for visitors, it really gives a person a vivid view into what the Holocaust was truly like.

After visiting the Museum of Social Justice, I became extremely excited about the exhibit we will be putting together over the next few weeks. Although the space is smaller than a lot of museums I have been to in the past, I would still like to use the space to tell a story, much like many other museums do. I would like our exhibit to tell the story of undocumented students from their arrival to the United States and be a sort of journey for spectators as they follow their encounters in court, with ICE, police officers and finally, the exhibit would end with the current politics and propaganda on immigration that guides the current presidential hopefuls. This would provide visitors with both a social and political context to guide them as they

The Museum of Tolerance of Los Angles educates people about the event that occurred during the Holocaust and people that helped us have a better word.

Traveling the world made me realize how lucky I am to live in the United States. I have read books that detail the struggles of Holocaust victims. I have even visited a Holocaust museum in Washington, DC but nothing can compare to the sadness I felt when I entered the wrought iron gate of the Dachau concentration camp. This camp is located in Dachau, Germany and served as a prison for Jewish people and prisoners of war during World War II. This

The Museum of Tolerance located in Los Angeles teaches kids and some adults about the holocaust,WW2 and genocide and much more. One of the most popular exhibits is the Anne Frank exhibit. Anne Frank was a teenage girl who lived in the era of the holocaust. She was one of the victims of the Nazi soldiers, who served under the dictator of Germany hitler. Anne Frank was sent to bergen-belsen concentration camp. Which by the way that was one of the camps that performed mass genocides. The definition of genocide is -the deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular ethnic group or

These are reasons why people should study the Holocaust and The Diary of Anne Frank. You will learn a lot that you didn’t know. If someone don’t like learning new things, just do it and you might like it. Never take nothing you have for granted, because it can end up really bad.
