A brief but detailed timeline of the events that occurred at this point in history.Sometimes a little confusing as some sections had a complete timeline of the events of a single aspect then went back into following the complete timeline.Still an experience worth visiting.

I'm placing a stone on the memorial pathway. Called to ask questions they were more than helpful. My sister is a lead docent there.
The mission of Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center is expressed in our founding principle: Remember the Past, Transform the Future. The Museum is dedicated to preserving the legacy of the Holocaust by honoring the memories of those who were lost and by teaching universal lessons that combat hatred, prejudice, and indifference.
The Museum fulfills its mission through the exhibition, preservation, and interpretation of its collections; and through education programs and initiatives that foster the promotion of human rights and the elimination of genocide.
