Abstract The Museum of Tolerance was not what I expected. Here are a few questions that I will answer throughout my paper. What I saw at the museum, what the museum taught me about cultural diversity, what I learned from this experience and how it may have changed my perceptions.

The set up of the museum was very strange but somehow worked with that set up. I only had time to see the Holocaust exhibit and passed by the tolerance center because the museum was closing. I found that when you walk down the “todays world” section of the museum that you run into two different doors, above the doors were prejudice, or non prejudice. Two individuals attempted to go through the non prejudice door and it would not let them through. I found it interesting that they would give you an option but you really have to think about it when you try to go through the door you think you are. It really make you think what you are prejudice about. The Holocaust exhibit starts you off with a card of an individual that was in the holocaust and you receive information through out the exhibit about what happened to them, at the end of the exhibit you get a print out of a personal history from the Archives of the Simon Wiesenthal Center. I also found the gas chambers to be the most informing part of the museum. You go though the gates to the concentration camps and choose to go down either the women and children hall or you go down the other hallway into an all concrete room. While sitting and watching the movie it explains what the Germans made the Jews think they were going. Something I never knew about the holocaust was that babies were thrown out of hospital windows into trucks. Women cried till tears would not come out any longer, the video also said that all they heard were whimpers and horse
