About the Simon Wiesenthal Center

The Simon Wiesenthal Center’s advocacy work brings moral clarity and strategic action to the fight against antisemitism, hate, and intolerance. We champion meaningful policy reforms, engage partners across governments and civil society, and mobilize communities to act decisively.
Our current advocacy priorities include:

• Demand the Release of All Remaining Hostages — pressing for urgent humanitarian intervention and government accountability.

• Fight College Antisemitism — safeguarding Jewish students’ rights and pushing institutions to adopt clear policies and enforcement.

• Defend the Safety of Israel — advocating internationally for Israel’s security, legitimacy, and diplomatic standing.

• Stand Up Against European Antisemitism — confronting rising antisemitic incidents and systemic bias across the continent.

• End UNRWA Incitement — calling for oversight and reform in institutions that perpetuate hate.

• Promote Holocaust Education — ensuring truthful, rigorous remembrance is part of curricula and public discourse.

Across these fronts, we serve as a trusted voice, elevating urgent issues and holding leaders accountable. Through careful tracking of developments, issuing public reports, and coordinating with allied institutions globally, we help turn moral imperatives into measurable outcomes.

Education is the bedrock of our mission. The Simon Wiesenthal Center believes that learning — in all its forms — shapes minds, builds empathy, and fortifies societies against hatred. Our educational efforts reach audiences of every age, from students to professionals, and span both digital and physical environments.

At the heart of our work is the Museum of Tolerance, and its mobile counterpart, the Mobile Museum of Tolerance, which bring immersive, reflective, and challenging experiences to visitors. These programs prompt participants to grapple with bigotry, antisemitism, and the lessons of the Holocaust — not as distant history, but as an urgent framework for present-day vigilance.

Museum of Tolerance – Los Angeles has welcomed millions, offering interactive exhibits, youth programming, and educator training.

Mobile Museums of Tolerance offer a world-class learning experience, utilizing innovative technology and interactive lessons to bring its message of tolerance directly to schools and communities nationwide. 

Beyond museums, we provide curricular resources, professional development for educators, and virtual learning platforms. Whether through workshops, seminars, conferences, or partnerships with schools and universities, we aim to embed values of critical thinking, tolerance, and remembrance in every context we touch.

Stories awaken empathy, expand understanding, and give voice to experiences too often forgotten. Through our Moriah Media unit, the Simon Wiesenthal Center brings powerful, authentic narratives to global audiences via film, documentary, and multimedia.

Moriah Media has produced 17 documentaries spanning the Holocaust, Jewish history, the State of Israel, and the lives of key figures in 20th and 21st-century Jewish life. Our work has been seen by over a billion people worldwide — on screens in theaters, on cable, and on major streaming platforms.

We collaborate with renowned narrators and artists — including Academy Award®–winning actors — to give voice and resonance to each story. By combining rigorous research with cinematic technique and human-centered storytelling, we turn historical memory into a living, dynamic tool for understanding our world. These stories don’t merely inform: they invite reflection, conversation, and action.
