The Museum of Tolerance (MOT), also known as Beit HaShoah ("House of the Holocaust"), is a multimedia museum in Los Angeles, California, United States, designed to examine racism and prejudice around the world with a strong focus on the history of the Holocaust. The museum was established in 1993, as the educational arm of human rights organization, the Simon Wiesenthal Center.[1] The museum also deals with atrocities in Cambodia and Latin America,[2] along with issues like bullying and hate crimes.[3] The museum has an associated museum and professional development multi-media training facility in New York City.

The museum is closed on Saturdays, the Jewish day of rest[4] and on all major Jewish holidays and United States public holidays.
