The Los Angeles-based Simon Wiesenthal Center’s Museum of Tolerance marked its fifth anniversary by unveiling a $1.4 million multimedia and interactive exhibit. Visitors enter a replica of a 1950s diner, with counter stools and red booths, where they can view two different videos — one probing the boundary between free speech and hate speech, the other dealing with moral choices and attitudes related to a fatal drunk driving accident. After each presentation, viewers can ask pre-programmed questions of the film’s characters, then vote their personal reactions.
