...Hashoah -- Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles. Built for $50 million by the Simon Wiesenthal Center, a human-rights and research organization named after the famed Austrian Jew who helped bring more than a thousand Nazi war criminals to justice, the museum aims to teach tolerance -- by holding a mirror up to visitors of every race and ethnic group, reflecting their prejudices and conflicts.

There, candelabra are held by human hands protruding from the walls, a magical mirror contains the visage of a beloved and an enchanted white steed roams the halls. The palace in the midst of the dark woods is a creation straight out of the work of Gustave Dore. Christian Berard's sets and makeup, the music of Georges Auric and the peerless cinematography...
