Grant Funded Field Trips for San Diego Schools

Share


Bring your students to the Museum of Tolerance.

The MOT’s unique interactive exhibits provide a hands-on learning experience that inspires students to learn from the past, engage in the present, and assume responsibility for the future. Visitors are challenged to explore the meaning of tolerance and the consequences of intolerance, by focusing on the history of the Holocaust and the dynamics of discrimination in our world today. Supporting the experiences are free Teacher Resources and a Teacher’s Guide with standards-aligned lessons and information.

The Museum of Tolerance thanks the Leichtag Family Foundation for its generous support.

 
The Holocaust Exhibit/Tolerancenter [3 hours]

Recommended for ages 12 and above, the Holocaust Exhibit is a sound-and-light guided, seventy minute dramatic presentation that covers the period from the 1920s to 1945. Students are led back in time to become witnesses to events in Nazi-dominated Europe during World War II. Every student receives a photo passport card with the story of a child whose life was changed by the events of the Holocaust. Throughout the tour, the passport is updated and at the end, the ultimate fate of the child is revealed. In the Tolerancenter, groups engage in interactive exhibits such as the POV Diner and Millennium Machine that expose the dynamics of prejudice and discrimination historically and today. Major themes include the power of words and the role of the bystander.

Learn more about the exhibits the students will experience.
