The Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center is breaking ground on a new facility, one large enough to accommodate 250,000 school children annually. This world-class museum is dedicated to preserving the memories of those lost in the Holocaust and teaching current generations about the need to fight hatred, intolerance and genocide in today’s world.
The power of this institution will be its ability to present the history of the Holocaust in ways that enable visitors to relate this experience to his or her own life today - the values we hold dear, the moral choices we each confront, and recognizing that each of us has the power to stand up to bigotry. Through our core exhibition and a wide array of public programs, the new Museum stands to become a cherished destination for learning and reflection, as well as a foundation for advancing inter group understanding in our community.
