United States Holocaust Memorial Museum 20th Anniversary Tour

For 20 years, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum has inspired citizens and leaders worldwide to think and act differently by confronting hatred, preventing genocide, and promoting human dignity.

On the occasion of its 20th anniversary, the Museum is mounting a four-city, national tour to bring the history of the Holocaust to audiences across the country, introducing them to the Museum�s work, and inspiring people to take action against indifference today. The Tour will make its stop in Los Angeles on February 17 at the Skirball Cultural Center.

�Main Stage Programs: A series of noted leaders will explore why the Holocaust happened, why some people chose to act in the face of hatred and danger, and what we can learn from their actions today.
