	TOLERANCE MUSEUM PART II
		As the initiators of the Museum contend, part of the Museum is being built on what was a parking lot constructed some 30 years ago over the cemetery by the Municipality of Jerusalem, this is the area where most of the graves have been found so far.
		There cannot be any legitimate grounds for building a Tolerance museum on top of a Muslim cemetery and it does not matter what was there on part of the site prior to construction.
		I appeal to the donors of the Museum to raise their voice and call on the Wiesenthal Center to stop the project immediately before more damage is done.

	Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles, CA - AOL City Guide
		Founded in 1993, the Museum of Tolerance at the Simon Wiesenthal Center was the first of its kind in the world, dedicated to preserving the memory of the Holocaust as well as promoting human rights and combating racism, anti-Semitism and genocide through education and outreach.
		The museum's Holocaust sections are extensive and astonishing, including an engrossing tour that includes recreations of prewar Berlin and the infamous Wannsee Conference (where the "Final Solution" to exterminate European Jewry was adopted), as well as the Hall of Testimony where visitors witness the stories and voices of survivors.
		A visit to the Museum of Tolerance is both moving and sobering, shedding light on the darkest corners of human history, as well as illuminating the inextinguishable struggle for survival and dignity.

	Armenians seek place in museum
		Since the Simon Wiesenthal Center's Museum of Tolerance opened its doors in 1993, its founders have aimed to commemorate the Holocaust and to explore prejudice and persecution worldwide -- a daunting dual mission that has won admirers from Jordan's King Hussein to Hollywood's Arnold Schwarzenegger.
		Museum director Liebe Geft acknowledged that the Armenian genocide, once featured in an introductory film, hasn't been part of the museum's permanent display or introductory film presentation for five years.
		In their book "The Holocaust Museum in Washington," that institution's founding director, Jeshajahu Weinberg, and co-author Rina Elieli recall intense lobbying by Armenian Americans seeking inclusion of the 1915 genocide, a counter-campaign by Turkish officials opposed to any mention of Armenians, and further lobbying from the Israeli embassy, weighing in on Turkey's behalf.

	Other Voices 2.1 (February 2000), Harold Marcuse "Experiencing the Jewish Holocaust in Los Angeles: The Beit Hashoah - ...
		A museum official explained that in the 1970s predecessor to this exhibit, the summary document was "on the wall and no one ever looked at it." Now, for about four minutes, visitors are exposed to dialog that suggests how unfeeling bureaucrats may have discussed genocide.
		However, the museum does not assume that there will be a "clear and direct translation into understanding...for purposes of genocide prevention." As its seminar and outreach programs show, the museum is highly conscious of its limited ability to foster "understanding" in a three-hour session.
		If we accept that museums may play only a brief, emotive role in the educational process, we should not expect them to achieve, in only a few hours, a historical understanding of the many events that were the Holocaust.

		The Museum of Tolerance is located at 9786 West Pico Boulevard in Los Angeles, and is open every day except Saturday and certain secular and Jewish holidays.

		To build a comparable museum in Jerusalem is to risk touchy-feely naivete on the one hand or polarizing candor on the other.

		And a film being made for all the Wiesenthal museums traces the friendship of a Palestinian pianist from Jenin and her Israeli teacher in Jerusalem's Gilo neighborhood, which Palestinians consider occupied territory.

		The very concept of a museum of "tolerance" is a vulgarity, and Rabbi Hier keeps his hand in it, a significant segment of the Jewish community will probably find it offensive as well.
		The concept implies that tolerance is not to be found in the daily lives of citizenry, in our communities, our literature and other arts, and therefore we don't know what it is. Rabbi Hier thinks it is necessary to go to a Jewish museum to discover the nature of tolerance.

	Museum of Tolerance Launch Shakes New Ground - Minnesota Daily
		A number of groups that promote coexistence between Muslims and Jews asked why it was necessary to spend $150 million to build a museum to promote tolerance when there were so many programs under way to work on the issue.
		In deference to Yad Vashem, the Wiesenthal Museum of Tolerance agreed to avoid dealing with the Holocaust and focus instead both on the history of intolerance prior to the Holocaust and on the post-Holocaust period, particularly terrorism and anti-Semitism, Hier said.
		Despite those public assurances, Yad Vashem officials remain skeptical that the new museum will be able to avoid the Holocaust and are clearly irritated that the new center has received backing from the government.
