TRAVEL BY NIC…….The
Perpetual Tourist!
Museum of
Tolerance – 9786 W Pico Blvd
Since my daughter was starting to learn about WWI and the
Nazi’s, I had heard that this would be a great museum to take her to. Admission was $15.50 per adult & $11.50
per student with free parking available under the Museum complex.
I had been to the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC and I found the Museum of Tolerance different from what I was expecting. As you enter the museum you learn about the
intolerance that is still happening today and intolerance that has happened
throughout time in all area’s of the world.
The portion of the tour that is about the Nazi’s is very well done. It’s a timed walking tour. They let a few people in at a time where you
go from station to station learning about the rise of Hitler until you end a
room that resembles a gas chamber. Each
stations has historic video of the Nazi movement.
There were not
as many actual items from Holocaust survivors as compared to the Holocaust
Museum. (Rooms of shoes, hair, etc were VERY moving to me). We were not disappointed because The Museum of Tolerance was VERY
informative. Your heart breaks when you
reach the end and hear the horror stories spoken in narrative from Jewish
survivors.
We were not allowed to take photos in the museum. Even though this was a tour that weighs heavy
on your heart, I did have a great time spending the day with my daughter.
The Original
Marty’s, Home of the Combo- 10558 W Pico, Los Angeles, CA
So I asked one of the guides at the Museum of Tolerance where
to eat and he suggested Marty’s! Just a
small hamburger stand with some tables set up outside. It was a GREAT burger! There wasn’t that much going on around the place
and yet I was surprised how many folks came walking up at 3pm to pick up their
combo! So if you find yourself on Pico
and want a tasty burger made right in front of you…..I suggest Marty's!
