Mission

Established in 1977, the Simon Wiesenthal Center is an international Jewish human rights organization dedicated to repairing the world one step at a time. The Center's multifaceted mission generates changes through the Snider Social Action Institute and education by confronting anti-Semitism, hate and terrorism, promoting human rights and dignity, standing with Israel, defending the safety of Jews worldwide, and teaching the lessons of the Holocaust for future generations. The Museum of Tolerance, the Center's educational arm, was founded in 1993 and challenges visitors to confront bigotry and racism, and to understand the Holocaust in both historic and contemporary contexts.
