Speaking at the 10th Annual Conference of The Jerusalem Post held at the Museum of Tolerance, Larry Mizel, chairman of the Simon Wiesenthal Center and of the Museum of Tolerance, as well as one of its founders, said that the new museum is a “significant step to eradicating the evils of racism and antisemitism from the world.”
He told attendees that the museum is a result of a pledge he made years ago to use his time and resources to improve the world by promoting tolerance and acceptance.
Mizel praised those who enabled and assisted in the building of the museum and expressed his wish that it would advance values of tolerance, solidarity, open-mindedness and cooperation.
