A SOMBER ICON Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum

“The museum was designed for those unfamiliar with the events of the Holocaust. In its simplicity, it seems to place its focus on teaching children, but it remains somber enough that even adults well educated about the Holocaust can appreciate it. Notably, the museum follows a somewhat controversial trend in newer Holocaust memorial centers by placing attention on other genocidal events and emphasizing tolerance education. It is also the first museum to link such atrocities with America’s journey for civil and human rights.”
