A Rising Tide of Hate
Anti-Western and anti-Semitic violence is on the rise around the world.
Education Can Shape the Future
Teaching children about the past opens their hearts and helps them fight bigotry and hatred in the future.
The Need is Vast
Illinois has nearly 2.5 million school-age children and more than 121,000 teachers. At our current facility, the organization reaches only 30,000 annually.
Most Can’t go to Washington
As many as 95% of Illinois school children will never have the opportunity to visit the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.
History Must Be Preserved
Artifacts from area survivors can only be preserved with advanced climate controls, adequate space and proper lighting.
History Must Be Accessible
Artifacts must be properly catalogued and available for students, Holocaust researchers and the public.
