The Museum of Tolerance, which has received the Global Peace and Tolerance Award from the Friends of the United Nations, is "a human rights laboratory and educational center dedicated to challenging visitors to understand the Holocaust in both historic and contemporary contexts and confront all forms of prejudice and discrimination in our world today." While those in Los Angeles will want to experience the brick-and-mortar museum in all its richness, readers from around the world will also find much to explore on the website. For instance, selecting From Hate to Hope, an item listed under What's Happening at the MOT, takes readers to a page dedicated to the remarkable story of two men, one a perpetrator, the other his victim, who were brought together by chance. Here readers will find a six-minute video telling this story, as well as a short trailer for a new documentary based on this relationship. Other attractions include an early anti-Semitic document composed by Adolf Hitler and a wonderful Teacher Resources section, found under Education.
