MUSEUM OF TOLERANCE presents

In the letter, Hitler calls for a ruthless government to implement an antisemitism not based on “purely emotive reasons [which] will always find its expression in the form of pogroms. But [an] antisemitism based on reason … [whose] … final aim, must be the uncompromising removal of the Jews altogether.” This interactive exhibit, installed at the entrance to the Holocaust Section on the Main Exhibit Level, reminds the world that what began as a private letter – one man’s opinion – became the state policy of an entire nation twenty-two years later and led to the murder of six million innocent Jewish people. FREE FOR MEMBERS. INCLUDED WITH PAID MUSEUM ADMISSION. ADVANCED TICKET PURCHASE RECOMMENDED. CALL 310-772-2505

This original signed four-page Hitler

letter dated September 16, 1919 that

the Simon Wiesenthal Center recently

acquired is on display to the public in

the Museum for the first time since the

day it was written.
