COMMACK SCHOOLS

Cedar Road students had the opportunity to learn an invaluable message on Tuesday as the Mobile Museum of Tolerance visited Commack.

The educational arm of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, the mobile classroom challenges visitors to confront bigotry, antisemitism and prejudice, and to understand the Holocaust in both historic and contemporary contexts.

The MMOT’s 30-seat, wheelchair accessible vehicle serves as a self-contained classroom while also delivering a field-trip experience to its visitors. The carefully designed workshops cover difficult topics such as propaganda, discrimination, hate and dehumanization in an age-appropriate manner.
