FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich., June 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ We unequivocally condemn the cowardly and despicable act of vandalism at The Florida Holocaust Museum on May 27. The abhorrent graffiti and hateful rhetoric that defaced the museum is an act of antisemitism, hatred and violence targeting Jews.
We will not be intimidated or waver in the mission of each of our organizations to educate on the dangers of unchecked hate. Holocaust education increases empathy, improves open-mindedness to differing viewpoints, and creates a greater sense of social responsibility and willingness to stand up to negative stereotyping and discrimination.

DALLAS â As a fan of history, the Holocaust has always held a certain fascination to me. I think itâs because it is so hard to fathom the extent that so many in the world went to in order to extinguish an entire race of people.
Thatâs why I knew that one of the places I would need to visit and write about is the Holocaust and Human Rights Museum in Dallas.
So with my husband in tow, we visited the museum and we were not disappointed. From the elegance of the museum itself, to the sophisticated way the museum is set up to educate and orient themselves to the history of Jewish culture and what lead to the Holocaust, as well as the aftermath, we were very honored to explore the center.
