Temporary/Special Exhibitions

Building the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center

April 2009 - Fall 2009

The first of many rotating special exhibitions, Building the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center, traces the history of the new Museum back to its roots in the attempted neo-Nazi march in Skokie in the late 1970s and local survivors' responses to that watershed event.
