Please Note: Our permanent exhibition will be closed periodically as we complete artifact installation. It will be closed Tuesday, July 13 through Friday, July 17, 2009.

The Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center 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. We hope that your visit will be a chance for you to learn, explore, share, and remember the history and lessons of the Holocaust and the continuing impact it has today.
