The Simon Wiesenthal Center purchased a three-story building to house its extensive tolerance education programs for law enforcement officers, teachers, students and corporations. A total of 20,000 policemen and sheriff’s deputies and 7,000 educators have graduated from the programs; last year, 6,000 students from 117 schools also participated in the center’s seminars. The $6.6 million facility is across the street from the center’s Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles.
