Center for Human Dignity
__NOTOC__
The Center for Human Dignity is the Simon Wiesenthal Center-planned Museum of Tolerance over Mamilla Cemetery at the center of West Jerusalem between Zion Square and the neighbourhood of Mamilla. The construction of the approximately 200-million dollar Museum began in June 2005 and was expected to be finished in 2007. After controversy concerning its location on an ancient Muslim burial site came to head, its construction was frozen by a Supreme Court order issued on February 2006.〔("Supreme Court freezes construction of Tolerance Museum" ), ''Walla!'', February 23, 2006 〕 In November 2008, the Israeli Supreme Court decided to allow construction to proceed, noting that this corner of the cemetery had been transformed into a parking lot "as long ago as the 1960s" and that Jerusalem has been inhabited for roughly 4,000 years, and many ancient sites have been built over.〔("SWC Press Release" )〕
==Design==
The Center, originally designed by Frank Gehry (who has since stepped down from the project),〔("Frank Gehry steps down from Museum of Tolerance project", ''Haaretz'', Jan. 15, 2010 )〕 was to include a museum, a theater, a conference hall, a library, and an educational center. The design of the Center has been seen as unique for Israel and, as such, has been met with many opponents and proponents. It is noted for its unusual amorphic shape as well as its glass and titanium coating, similar to the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. One reporter has described it as "supernatural edifice resembling nothing so much as a crab in the process of hatching a sapphire spider with huge, glassy eyes. It is neither beautiful nor ugly; it is striking and odd."〔("Noga Tarnopolsky, “Death In Jerusalem” Guilt and Pleasure, Spring 2007" )〕
