The Fight against hatred
Very worthwhile museum to visit, which provides information on the struggle for civil rights for all, and for counteracting hatred across the globe. The outside ground of the museum are very beautiful and every installation you see has a meaning. The initiative is promoted via testimonials, videos, and historical evidence that seeks to reach a consensus for mutual respect and dignity. The end of the museum is the highlight, where you are presented with the imposing Wall of Tolerance. This is an actual giant video monitor with names that appear and scroll in different directions. These names are people who are committed to fighting hatred, and you can enter your name that will appear on the screen as well. On the side of the wall is the mission that you sign up for. This is a symbolic yet powerful commitment to fight hatred worldwide. Excellent museum.

The struggle continues
The center gives a short sketch about the people whose names are on the memorial. But, it also has info on more recent victims, who are LGBTQ, Muslim, etc. There is a theater with an excellent film. Be sure to add your name to the Wall of Tolerance and mean it.
