Museum of Tolerance

I've never been there so I can't offer any advice. But I was just looking at their web site and have to wonder if the name isn't a misnomer. Isn't it really a Museum of Intolerance? Kind of like calling the torture room at the wax museum a "Museum of Humanely Extracting Information."

I see it is an interactive museum. I'm not sure what they do to make 11 year-olds interact with the Holocause but you might want to talk to the teacher about what your son can expect. Otherwise it sounds like you're doing what you can. Be prepared to deal with his questions.
