Holocaust History

Remember the Past

The Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center is dedicated to teaching about the Holocaust to educators and students throughout the Midwest. This mission is accomplished directly through the exhibitions, courses, and programs available at the museum and through our outreach efforts.

Resources and materials are provided to educators to enhance their classroom units and to assist them in meeting the Illinois Holocaust and Genocide Education mandate.
