Over the summer I was lucky enough to visit the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington‚ D.C. Although it’s hard to believe‚ the most impactful object I saw in the museum was an old‚ barely visible footprint! Obviously‚ there were numerous important artifacts I saw that day‚ but that footprint helped teach me the importance of always offering as much help as one can give.

The short answer to the above-entitled question is no‚ the Museum of Tolerance is not tolerant. The long answer‚ since everything has both long and short answers these days‚ is the Museum tries to be as tolerant as it can‚ but as my guide commented "humanity is simply incapable of not being prejudiced."
