    Join us on Thursday, April 24, from 5:00–5:50 PM at the Mobile Museum of Tolerance for a powerful Yom HaShoah program exploring the critical role of ordinary people during the Holocaust.

    Presented by the Simon Wiesenthal Center, The Power of Ordinary People examines how individuals can either perpetuate hate or stand up against it. Through a compelling short film and guided discussion, participants will explore the choices made by bystanders, perpetrators and upstanders—contrasting stories of those who allowed antisemitic violence to unfold with those who bravely resisted.

    This immersive experience brings the lessons of the past into the present, emphasizing our collective responsibility to combat antisemitism and intolerance in today's world.

    The Mobile Museum of Tolerance (MMOT) is a state-of-the-art, traveling educational center dedicated to confronting hate and promoting empathy. Built as a mobile extension of the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles, the MMOT offers an interactive, field-trip-like experience inside a 30-seat, wheelchair-accessible classroom. This program is open to teens and adults. Space is limited—reserve your spot today.
