Museum of Tolerance
The Museum of Tolerance is a large museum that focuses on racism and prejudice. It is also home to a memoriam of the Holocaust. The museum
attempts to crack the barriers of racism, prejudices, and discrimination. I had never previously visited the Museum of Tolerance before this class. I
have been told of how it was mostly notorious for its Holocaust exhibit and its messages prejudice. From personal experience, the Museum of
Tolerance appeared to be a popular place to visit and a place people often talk about or reference within conversations. The many exhibits in the museum
expose the guests to different types of prejudice, hatred, and discriminations. Upon entrance to the museum there was a security checkpoint....show

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

Reflection On The Museum Of Tolerance
The Museum of Tolerance has taught me many things. While there were other things I learned, a lot of them fall under the same few categories. These
categories include the power of words and images, the dynamics of discrimination, and personal responsibility. The Museum of Tolerance showed some
new information and some old, but they all related to at least one of these themes. In the next few paragraphs, I will reflect on those themes.
Words and images have the power to convince, to inform, to entertain, to do a variety of things, and that's why newspapers and books stay around.
Hitler used his words carefully, and, through that, was able to convince a large number of people that the Jews were bad. Propaganda was also a big
part of the war....show more content...
There were many, many people who thought the Holocaust was wrong and terrible, but they didn't do anything about it. Those people lived in guilt
for the rest of their lives because they didn't help out. It didn't even have to be a big thing. You could just give some Jews food, or helped them find
a place to hide. There are plenty of things ordinary people could have done that was little to no risk for them, and yet, few did it. It's even more
important for the people in power. If Chamberlain, the prime minister of Britain, had said no to Hitler wanting Austria or Sudetenland (north
Czechoslovakia), then the Holocaust might not have happened. It was Britain and France's job to protect Europe, but they stood by for too long. If De
Gaulle (France) or Chamberlain had taken on the responsibility to go to war and protect the Jews, then we might not have lost six million Jews. You
might say that that is not up to the leaders, and they have others they must convince, but what about in the case of say, an ordinary man in Germany.
What does that man have that prevents him from helping the Jews out, even just a little bit? One of the big ideas at the Museum of Tolerance is that
people could have helped, but they never did. Personal responsibility is a big issue, and is one of the main themes of the Museum of Tolerance and the

Effects Of The Museum Of Tolerance
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

This caused political and economic struggles throughout the land. Frantically there were struggles on how to fix the troubled land. Different type of
political party came about, communism started to make way, liberal , conservative, and the nazi party although small at the time was also gaining
notice with Hitler leading the charge. Hitler led a coup attempt in Bavaria which is known as the Beer Hall Putsch. He had hoped that his nationalist
revolution in Bavaria would spread to the dissatisfaction within the German army, which in turn would bring down the government in Berlin.
However, the uprising was immediately suppressed, and Hitler was arrested and sentenced to five years in prison for high treason. Hitler was not
discouraged from there, he had his goal to eliminate the Jews to bring power to Germany. In his mind this was to create the ideal human figures.
During his time in prison he wrote his first book in 1923 called Mein Kampf, a best seller at the time. The book depicts the jews as enemy of the
lord and calls it the holy crusade that is necessary to rid of these "parasite". His ideal which was spread during the time of his prison, gain immense
popularity and almost immediately after the release in prison, Hitler ran for chancellor of Germany. Even though he had lost by a small margin in his
first race, this set his Nazi party to grow even more and alerted how the majority of the population were feeling at the time. The country slowly agreed
to one another that the issue that they had and the instability was all towards the 1% of the population, Jews. This hateful ideal continued to be spread
to no stop, and by the next election, Adolf Hitler won by a considerable

Analysis Of The Museum Of Tolerance Of Los Angles
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.
One of the more well–known victims of the holocaust is Anne Frank.She was a thirteen teenage girl,she lived in Amsterdam and in Germany.Anne
Frank's story is fascinating and incredible because she was a young girl writing about how it was being like a Jew and how she lived during the
Holocaust.
One of the less–known victims of the Holocaust is Natan Abbe. He was a fifteen year–old schoolboy,he lived in Lodz,Poland.
Natah Abbe story is amusing and sorrowful because Natan was a Jew with a big family, Natan was one of 1.5 million Jewish children murdered by the
Germans.

Is the Museum of Tolerance Itself Tolerant?
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." Instead of spending the following pages explaining why this exhibit is less tolerant then that exhibit, I would like to break this paper up
into two parts: the first a discussion on the tolerance of the museum's Tolerancenter and the second on the tolerance of the Holocaust Exhibit. To
begin, I would like to say that I have been to the MOT on several occasions and it really has not changed much since my last visit; however unlike all of

Once again, I found the museum to be trying to shock me while simultaneously awe me, in order to make it clear to me that intolerance exists in the
world and in myself as well. It occurred to me that one possible reason this seems so ineffective to me is that I am lucky enough to be well–educated
on the ways of the world and the horrors of humanity. For me, I do not need to see the bullet–ridden corpses of women lying dead in pools of their own
blood on the streets of Kosovo to know that their death was the result of one people hating another people; I already knew this and understand it.
But many people may not, and so the museum is essentially forced to cater to those who do not know, and disregard those who do. Moving into the
Holocaust Exhibit, this is where the museum, in my opinion, is allowed to be less tolerant in its presentation of the atrocity and the intolerance that
spurned it. The reason is because all of my life "the Holocaust" has been used to refer to the persecution of the 6 million Jews who died during it.
The museum attempts on a few occasions to remind us that roughly 15 million people in all died during the Holocaust, however because Hitler's
regime consistently spoke about the elimination of the Jewish problem more so then the elimination of the gay problem or gypsy problem or
handicapped problem, the MOT should be allowed to display a biased

Museum Observation
The museum is very nice lots of fun facts and little pieces of history. However, the exhibit was very short and there was more reading than actual
artifacts, this museum is quite small, but full of information, there is a lot to read, but if you'd rather watch videos, they have different ones running
in each new area. From real war and Nazi memorabilia to boxcars, barbed wire, and brick ovens, this museum has a little of everything. The best
thing was that there was no entrance fee. While the focus is a painful one for all of humanity, the museum gives a voice to those who suffered. It was
eye opening for me even though I have seen videos of this period of history. When you see the maps, the locations, and the faces it becomes real and
undeniable somehow in a manner that is more dynamic than reading....show more content...
One goes from TV presentation to another in timely organization. There were some actual artifacts to see and well displayed and very well
explained. What I liked best about the museum was that it was keyed to the stories and artifacts of local survivors, of which there were many. The
staff was very caring. There was review of a tragic time in world history. Even though we all know what happened, still the pictures of the people
involved and the timeline of antisemitism almost takes your breath away. exhibits were informative and accurate. Overall I was a great experience to
visit the Holocaust Museum. I learned I little bit more of that time with a lot of

Museum Of Tolerance Report
On March 6th, 2016 I went to the Museum of Tolerance, a multimedia museum in Los Angeles, is designed to examine racism and prejudice around the
world with a strong focus on the history of Holocaust and to fostering tolerance through educational outreach community involvement and social action.
First thing I noticed as I walked in the museum was that there were pictures on the wall of holocaust survivors that explains how they fought in their
time and the struggles they had to go through. It was a long list of survivors and some of them were used to work of the museum and tell their stories
about the Holocaust and how they survived. The next thing I noticed was an office, nearly full of books and a desk that had newspapers and letters all

I even saw some people crying while watching the video. I felt that some people were crying because it reminded them of their loved ones who
struggled through it or maybe their ancestors are from that part of history. It made me realized their feelings toward those people and country.
Visiting the museum gave me a close look of what I am studying in anthropology. By spending time with the exhibits, the people and in that
environment, it gave me a lot of information of what people have been through and how horrible it was back then. As I started to walk out, I read this
on the wall, "We hold these truths to be self–evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable
Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" from Declaration of Independence,

Museum Of Tolerance Experience
Museum of Tolerance Experience Visiting the Museum of Tolerance this past weekend was an experience I will never forget. The whole concept
of the Holocaust always saddened me and it never ceased to surprise me how cruel and inhuman this massacre had been. As I sat next to my family
listening to a 92 year old Holocaust survivor named William Harvey speak about his experience I was immediately touched and truly humbled.
William Harvey was born Berehova, Czech Republic which if now part of the Ukraine, on May 20th 1924. During his speech he explained how
difficult his childhood was and how he was born to be an adult. He was a part of a family of six so his mother had to work very hard to to raise them
because his father was very ill and Mr. Harvey

Anne Frank Museum Of Tolerance
The museum of tolerance taught a lot about Anne Frank and her experiences of the holocaust. In my opinion the holocaust was a genocide, it was the
biggest genocide there was. That single genocide took 6 million lives of innocent people. One was the famous Anne frank which died in
Bergen–Belsen, the cause of the death was because of typhus. Going to the museum of tolerance helped me understand more about the holocaust and
how it was so tragic.

The Museum of Tolerance is a museum that examines hate–crimes around the world caused by racism and prejudice. The museum focuses mainly on
the history of Holocaust, out of all hate crimes in the world. However, when digging through the museum, the Museum of Tolerance appeared to be
biased in a way with their portrayal of many images.
The formal title of the museum is the Museum of Tolerance. They chose this title, because they want to promote tolerance and understanding of hate
crimes in our schools and communities. Instead of naming their museum, "Museum of Tolerance", they could have chosen the title, "Remembering The
Holocaust", since the museum mainly focuses on the Holocaust. When touring inside the museum, it was obvious that...show more content...
In those clips, it showed many Muslims protesting and shouting, "Kill all Jews" and Islamic extremists terrorizing everyone in the world. This wasn't
just shown in one section of the gallery, but also in many other sections. Even though there are few Islamic terrorists, I know for a fact from the class
reading, (Why Are There So Many Muslim Terrorists? By Christopher Bates), that there aren't a lot of Muslim terrorists in reality. The way the museum
portrayed the Muslims kind of looked as if they were stereotyping the Muslims and that they are the cause of hate crimes.
Further inside the museum, they had like a time machine simulator where it took you to the past during the rise and fall of Nazi Germany. This really
made me see and feel what it was like back then, which is way better than just reading or listening about it from someone else. Even though the
museum has this cool feature, I think the museum is a bit worse in a way since they are biased. They make it look like as if Jews were the only
victims of the Holocaust. There were many victims of the Holocaust who weren't Jews. Many homosexuals were also Nazi's targets during the
Holocaust. The museum taught us that the power of words can lead to terrorism and that we tend to allow hatred to continue because it's much easier to
ignore than confront the issue. These were demonstrated during the time machine simulator along with some blame. For example, the simulator
showed that when

Tolerance: A Lost Value
"Tolerance is the last virtue of a depraved society. When an immoral society has blatantly and proudly violated all the commandments, it insists upon
one last virtue, tolerance for its immorality. It will not tolerate condemnation of its perversions. It creates a whole new world in which only the
intolerant critic of intolerable evil, is evil." –Hutton Gibson. What is tolerance? In today's society it is something that everyone seems to glorify, and
worship as a seemingly powerful, helpful, and good moral. Quiet frankly, and much to the opposite of E. M. Forester's essay, tolerance is what
seems to be the world's bane, and one of its most horrific and perverted lies. Throughout history, it can be argued that it was tolerance that messed up
everything that became impure. Most importantly, tolerance can be proven to be the poison that is killing love. One familiar scene that nearly
everyone on earth would recall to argue about tolerance, is WWII. Most sources would claim that it was the Germans who were intolerant, that they
were hateful and cruel to the Jews, and though most of them were indeed monsters, it wasn't their intolerance that was the problem. How many of
them did nothing? How many of stood up against Hitler? How many of them surrendered and were tolerant of Hitler's lies? Because the Germans were
tolerant of evil, and immorality, and the absolution to no absolutes, six million Jews died. That is 6,000,000 if the letters didn't do it for you. But to
make matters

Essay about The Museum of Tolerance
The Museum of Tolerance
The Museum of Tolerance focuses on two central themes: The history of racism and prejudice in the American experience and the Holocaust– man's
inhumanity to man. The issues of human rights, racism, and responsibility are discussed. The responsibility of each individual person is to speak up
in opposition of extermination of another race and stop another Holocaust. World War II and Hitler, the German leader was intent on conquests and
war, but he needed a scapegoat to blame and the Jews were headed for genocide. What I found most interesting about a something so terrible was the
Resistance Movement and specifically – The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. I went to the museum with a date, but when we came out, all...show more

Exterminations began in July 1942 with the arrivals of the Warsaw ghetto (Gutman,1994). The deportation of July–September 1942 reduced the ghetto
population from 400,00 to between 50,000 to 60,000 people. When the reports of mass murder in the death camps leaked back to the Warsaw ghetto, a
surviving group of young people formed the Z.O.B. (Polish name – Zydowska Organizacja Bojowa), which translates to (Jewish Fighting
Organization). The leader was 23 year old Mordecai Anielewicz, who issued a proclamation to the Jews to resist going into the railroad cars. On
Monday January 18, 1943, the first shot was fired by Aireh Wilner when the pursuers penetrated a dwelling of members of the Jewish Fighting
Organization the vicinity of the OBW on Mila Street. Ghetto fighters fired upon German troops as they tried to round up another group of ghetto
inhabitants for deportation. These fighters used a small supply of weapons that were smuggled into the ghetto. After four days, the troops retreated.
This small victory was the inspiration to prepare for future resistance. On April 19, 1943, the eve of Passover, the Warsaw ghetto uprising began after
German troops and police entered the ghetto to deport surviving inhabitants. Seven hundred and fifty fighter's fought the Germans. The ghetto fighters
were able to hold out a month,

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...show more content...
Military bound children in some countries are bought or forced into the military by the age of 7 trained to kill and given weapons to serve their
country. Often told that they should be proud to die a soldier, if any try to escape the military officers send the same children to hunt and kill the
runaways for desertion. Why is it that in the United States actions like these are extremely punishable and prohibited but when other countries
practice these methods and import goods to the US we turn our heads? The United States is one of the biggest countries in the world that
participates in human trafficking and only recently has been questioned because of recent cases of US Caucasian girls being abducted in foreign
countries. Truth is these abductions have been happening for a while now but I ask why it is only now becoming an issue. Also an issue is child
porn children are exploited everyday through the internet with child porn sites and in a recent Supreme court case and producer of porn won a case
stating that all his children pornography is artificially made with animation from a computer and since no real child is being harmed its his right to
express himself as he pleases. Secondly, we were taught about the mistreatment of woman around the world. In some countries husbands of wives
remove sexual pleasure organs of woman for they will not be tempted to sleep with other men. Sex is only supposed to be enjoyable for the husband.

Personal Experience Of The Holocaust
Museum of Tolerance
History
Some unfortunate moments in history happened between 1933 and 1945. Eleven million Jewish were murdered in Europe under Nazi regime. This
genocide massacre is known as Holocaust. The Holocaust events are well presented at Museum of Tolerance (MOT). The purpose of establishing this
museum is to bring awareness of racism and discrimination around the world. Since the moment of establishment in 1993, the museum opened its
doors to over 5 million visitors (Museum of Tolerance, n.d.).
Personal Experience I was impressed how all the events of World War II were presented in a chronological order at the MOT. The audio and visual
materials gave me an opportunity to escape in the past and allowed me to feel what happened to Jewish people. For example, two simulations
depicted life events that happened at that time. In one simulation, Hitler and his members were sitting at the table and planning how to exterminate
Jewish. In the second simulation, ordinary Jewish and Germans are sitting at a cafГ© discussing racial dilemma. Thinking about racism, it is hard to
perceive that people would hate and kill other human kinds because their hair and eyes look darker. Also, it is hard to understand that a highly
educated society such as Germany would allow crime based on race. Despite my disbeliefs, these hate crimes happened in Europe during World War
II. It has passed 72 years from then, but the documents, pictures, and clothes were able to be preserved and

Museum Of Tolerance Reflection
Different colors, different faces, diverse cultures and traditions seen in one place– Los Angeles is indeed a "melting pot". Given this remarkable
cultural diversity, issues of unfair treatment still arise. The aim of this journal is to reflect on my experience at the Museum of Tolerance, identify a
personal experience where I witnessed unfair treatment of another person, describe the significance of ethics in public health, talk about the relevance
of social justice in public health, examine the impact of racism in healthcare, and what can I do as a nurse to stop unfair treatments from happening in
healthcare.

They stated that the infection rates are high in this population, accounting for around 5.9% to 12% annually (Matthews et al., 2016). A meta–analysis
done by Millett et al. cited in this study found out that there was no difference between risk behaviors between Black men and other groups who are
homosexual. But why is it that Black men still have a higher rate than any other groups? Several studies have shown that racism in healthcare is
rampant up until now, and constitutes a problem of social justice in public health because of the treatment differences, therefore having no equal
distribution of privileges among the entire community.
In a systematic review done by Hall et al. (2015), they found out that most healthcare workers displayed a positive attitude towards Whites compared to
negative attitudes shown not just to Blacks but all people of color. This creates a dilemma for it threatens not just the treatment outcomes and the
overall health of one patient, but of the entire population as

In The Practice Of Tolerance One's Enemy Analysis
The Dalai Lama once said "In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher". This quote really spoke to me because it has an
influential message. What the Dalai Lama is saying in the quote is that tolerance is about being accepting of everyone even if you don't really like
them. This quote reminded me of another quote by Barbara Jordan which says "We, as human beings, must be willing to accept people who are
different from ourselves". I agree with what Barbara says because if we can accept ourselves no matter what good or bad thing we do, we can do the
same and accept other people without judging them. In this essay I will analyze a documentary "My So–Called Enemy" by Lisa Gossels and an
editorial "American Flag Stands For Tolerance"

Museum Of Tolerance Research Paper
The Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles educates people about the Holocaust with exhibits like the Anne Frank. In the first place the Anne Frank
exhibit taught us about Anne's family and also about her life in Amsterdam. In addition the Museum of tolerance show us what happened to all the
innocent people back then and to never judged a person by their appearance. Also the Holocaust was part of Genocide because they treated all of the
Jews, Gypsies, Jehovah Witness, Homosexuals like they were animals. The Holocaust exhibit helps people to understand about the the life of people
who lived in the Holocaust , so that in the future it doesn't occur

Museum Of Tolerance
The Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles educates people about how people were treated during the Holocaust and what prisoners did in the camps,
resulting in the deaths of many. One of the many life–changing exhibits that may open they eyes of many was the Anne Frank exhibit. It features the
life of an extraordinary young Jewish writer who lived in a Nazi–occupied country in her early teenage years . Anne is one of the most well–known
victims of the Holocaust because of the diary that she kept, while she and her family were in hiding. My favorite quote by Anne Frank is, "In spite of
everything, I still believe people are good at heart," because it shows that even through the darkest of times, one can still forgive and have hope for a
brighter

Tolerance During The Holocaust
The Holocaust was an example of extreme institutional racism and remembering the events is a good way to ensure that it doesn't happen again. This
requires an understanding of tolerance and why people lack it. If we figure this out, we can teach against these habits and rehabilitate those who have
them to make the world better. One of the primary reasons that people do not tolerate differences is because of a power imbalance. During the Holocaust
, the Jews and other groups that were discriminated against were minority groups, meaning that they didn't have as many people, therefore having less
control. Plus, rhe Nazis and their supporters were the majority, so the extermination of those groups would still have left most of the population
