WORKSHOPS
Holocaust Museum LA believes that through programs that value dialogue and learning, we can, together, build a more humane and dignified world. Injustice has no place in our mission, our work, and the world we envision. As a Holocaust museum, we stand in steadfast resolve against those who harm others because of who they are and what their history or identity may be. By teaching students and the public to be prejudice and to discriminate, the Nazis and their collaborators set the stage for hatred and violence. At our museum, we teach students and the public to be empathetic, kind, and respectful in order to create a more dignified future.
Our work is more critical than ever given the fragile state of today’s world, humanitarian and refugee crises, and the alarming rise in hate crimes and rhetoric.
There was an average of one antisemitic incident every hour of every day of 2023 in the United States. (Source: ADL’s 2023 Annual Audit of Antisemitic Incidents) Hate crimes reached record levels last year. (Source: Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University)
We must take action and education is our greatest catalyst for change. Holocaust Museum LA’s mission is grounded in teaching students and visitors the critical lessons of the Holocaust and its continued social relevance, empowering them to speak out and stand up against hatred, bigotry, in all its insidious forms. We strive to build a culture rooted in kindness, empathy, and treating people with respect.
