The Museum seeks to rescue and preserve these oral testimonies, artifacts, documents and photographs while there is still time – before the veterans and survivors are gone and their personal histories lost forever.

The Museum will hold its 20th anniversary national tour in Chicago on Sunday, June 9th, from 10:00 AM at Sheraton Chicago Hotel & Towers, 301 East North Water Street. It will be a free, family-friendly, daylong public event featuring a variety of opportunities to engage with Museum resources, people, and programs and pay tribute to local Holocaust survivors and World War II veterans. To register, please visit the Museum’s website.
