On July 5, 2015, at 3:00 p.m., a hate crime victim and a former hate crime perpetrator will hold a special dialogue, From Hate to Hope, at the Museum of Tolerance (MOT).
Twenty years ago, Matthew was a young teenager who was disowned by his family for being gay – he now works as a manager at the MOT. Tim was a former neo-Nazi who speaks of his experiences at the MOT. Through meeting and conversation, they realized that years ago Matthew had been victimized by Tim’s gang. Theirs is the remarkable story of reconciliation between the perpetrator and the victim of a hate crime. From Hate to Hope is held monthly at the MOT – on the first Sunday of the month at 3:00 p.m. and is free with paid admission to the Museum.
The Museum of Tolerance is located at 9786 West Pico
Boulevard (at Pico and Roxbury). For more information and/or photos, contact the Center’s Public Relations Department, 310-553-9036.
