While the Skokie location is closed for renovations, the Illinois Holocaust Museum has opened an exhibit space in downtown Chicago, continuing its mission of sharing the stories and history of the Holocaust and transforming them into lessons about civil rights and genocide. International Holocaust Remembrance Day is a time to open our eyes and ears to the horrors experienced and inflicted during that period, and the museum’s special presentation of Experience360 does just that in a new and innovative way. The Illinois Holocaust Museum was founded in 1981 in response to a proposed neo-Nazi march in Skokie in 1976. The entry corridor to the museum space is themed around this event. Holocaust survivors who had resettled in Skokie—at the time home to the largest per capita population of survivors outside of Israel—were not willing to run and hide. Accompanied by their neighbors, they organized a march of their own. The signs they carried now hang from the ceiling and line the walls, alongside newspaper clippings from the time. Legal battles followed over whether the neo-Nazi group’s hateful rhetoric was protected under the First Amendment, sparking ongoing debate. For those who survived what that rhetoric represented, and for those who understand history, this was never a matter for debate. The museum was founded to educate—and to explain why.
