HOLOCAUST MUSEUM LA
100 The Grove Dr., Los Angeles | 323.651.3704 | holocaustmuseumla.org

There is no other museum like this on earth. Swirling, striking, and award-winning architectural design transports visitors on a historical journey of war, hope, cruelty, responsibility, and the beauty found in humanity’s resilience…and its ability to endure and overcome. At the oldest Holocaust museum in the U.S. and the first survivor-founded one, education is a significant focus. Tours are designed to educate and enrich, including a one-of-a-kind extraordinary opportunity to converse with an “eternal survivor” of the Holocaust in a life-like holographic adventure. Guests can also view the West Coast’s largest collection of rare Holocaust-era artifacts, including those from Auschwitz, the largest of the Nazi death camps. Experience the museum through audio tours narrated by actress Mayim Bialik (for ages 8+). Self-guided audio tours are available in English and Spanish on Bloomberg Connects app. Special docent-led tours are held at 1:30 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Nestled in Pan Pacific Park, adjacent to The Grove and the original Farmers Market, the museum is open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Sundays are free.

In today’s world, parents worry more than ever about their children’s ability to be successful in social situations. With the addition of video gaming and social media platforms, children do not have the same access to in-person social interactions as they used to. Due to this phenomenon, many children lack the necessary skills to be successful when interacting with their peer groups. Many children also suffer from issues such as social isolation, lack of confidence in their social abilities, and fears of being rejected. Tammy Van Fleet, PhD., BCBA-D, opened the Social Skills Training Academy to offer state-of-the-art social skills groups designed to teach children and young adults the necessary skills to feel confident and knowledgeable in their social world. Her social skills classes are designed to teach age-appropriate social skills in an environment that is fun, interactive, and effective, where children are given the necessary tools to help them feel confident and ready to be a part of a variety of different social situations.
