Hear and Meet a Holocaust Survivor

For over three decades, Holocaust Survivors have volunteered their time at the Museum of Tolerance to speak about their experiences during World War II. Over 50,000 visitors per year meet and hear a Holocaust Survivor or 2nd Generation speaker. These speakers are ambassadors of memory, hope, and tolerance.

The Museum of Tolerance is proud to offer this speaker series IN-PERSON at the Museum of Tolerance every Sunday at 1:00pm and 3:00pm. (Included with admission)
