    A sobering and important stop for me. Spent 4 hours learning about the Holocaust and the political and world environment that allowed this atrocity to happen. The museum offers a VR and a holographic experience that share survivors’ poignant stories. Judy, one of the many volunteers there, provided an excellent tour of the main displays. The Kinder Transport exhibit shows an example of what love in action looks like. Over 10,000 children were accepted into England and saved. A similar proposal to bring children to the US was scuttled by Congress. I want my country to be refuge for those who turn to us in time of great need. My hope is that through educational offerings like these we, as a caring and compassionate people, can prevent anything like this from happening again.

    The guide was very kind, as were all of the other people there. With the guide, it was very interactive and engaging. Our group was very happy with this trip.

    I like to read everything, so two hours was not enough time here. I managed to get through the permanent exhibit but wasn't able to watch many of the videos. The exhibits do a very thorough job of explaining the Jewish culture during the 1930s as well as how attitudes and politics escalated throughout the war.

    There is no cafeteria inside. There are vending machines in lower level with soft drinks, chocolate, snacks, etc. There are a number of good restaurants in the nearby Old Orchard mall. Simply keep your admission tickets and show them at the entrance when you return. Be sure to get back before 4:00 when the doors close. The museum is open till 5:00. Currently, masks encouraged but not required. See my earlier review (Ma 29, 2022) for more details, including the history.

    I have been visiting the Holocaust Museum since its beginnings as a small store-front facility on Main Street in Skokie. I think it was a dentist's office before that. The original building is still standing and I marvel every time I drive by at the concept of "The Little Museum That Could" -- now the third largest holocaust museum in the world. Yes, you read that right -- in the world. Here's the back story: Neo-nazis attempted to march in Skokie in 1978 but were stopped by a last-minute court injunction. The attempted Skokie March galvanized a group of local Shoah survivors who knew that the strongest weapon against bigotry is education. They rented office space on Dempster and eventually moved into the Main Street location in 1984. School groups came to visit and a speakers bureau was established to reach those who couldn't visit in person. ' They raised funds for the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising memorial which was erected in 1987 on the Village Green between the Skokie Public Library and the Village Hall. There are ashes from Auschwitz buried behind the monument. In 2009 the current state-of-the-art Museum building opened. All multimedia is captioned and resources are available for the visually impaired. Docent-led tours are available in four languages (Spanish, Russian, French, and Hebrew). For me, the highlight is the hologram exhibit, which is computer generated; is changed every month; and is included in the cost of your ticket. You will experience an interactive, 3-D survivor testimony. The schedule right now spotlights Pinchas Gutter till the end of May; Aaron Elster from June 1 - 30; and Renee Firestone from July 1-31. The amazing technology allows members of the audience to hear the survivors' stories and to ask them questions. (Pinchas Gutter will sing a song for you.) The last time I was there the volunteer docent rephrased some of the questions in order to include the correct trigger words. Museum admission is free on the last Friday of every month in 2022. See my earlier review (August 20, 2022) for more details.

    The 65,000-square-foot Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center is a museum that serves as a memorial to families that perished during the Holocaust and the additional millions lost but also where young minds learn the terrible dangers of prejudice and hatred. When coming to the Museum, visitors have a range of experiences to explore. They can meet virtual Holocaust Survivors at the Museum’s Abe & Ida Cooper Survivor Stories Experience exhibition, featuring our holographic theater, where technology enables Survivor holograms to tell their deeply moving personal stories and respond to questions from the audience, inviting visitors to a personalized, one-on-one conversation. They also can explore 2 temporary exhibits, the Take a Stand Center, our core Karkomi Holocaust Exhibition and our children's exhibition, Make A Difference! The Harvey L.
