Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center
United States
Registrace 19. 10. 2011
In the wake of planned neo-Nazi marches in Skokie in the late 1970s, Chicagoland Holocaust Survivors joined together to form the Holocaust Memorial Foundation of Illinois. They purchased a small Skokie storefront and made it available to the public, focusing on combating hate with education. The 65,000-square-foot Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center that opened in 2009 is a culmination of 30 years of hard work by the Survivor community.
Illinois Holocaust Museum not only honors the memory of the millions who were murdered during the Holocaust, but salutes the courage and resilience of Survivors. They are the people who rebuilt their lives and awoke the conscience of humanity, working tirelessly to tell their stories, so that none of us ever forget. It is for them that we carry out our founding principle: Remember the Past, Transform the Future.

To Life! To Deli! - Chicagoland Jewish Delis
More than a place to get a meal, the Jewish deli is a community forged in food. “'I’ll Have What She’s Having': The Jewish Deli" explores how Jewish immigrants, mostly from Central and Eastern Europe, imported and adapted traditions to create a uniquely American restaurant. The exhibition reveals how Jewish delicatessens became a cornerstone of American food culture, and how delis served as a lifeline for many Holocaust Survivors and refugees who came to the United States, including in the Chicago area.
“'I’ll Have What She’s Having': The Jewish Deli" was at Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center October 22, 2023 - April 14, 2024. The exhibition was organized and circulated by the Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles, California.

When Hate Becomes a Crime
zhlédnutí 49Před 4 měsíci
Hate crimes in the U.S. increased overall by 7% from 2021 to 2022. In the last three months of 2023 there was a 360% increase in antisemitic incidents. Every time one of these crimes is committed it creates tension and fear, and tears at the fabric of community life, which raises several questions: what qualifies as a hate crime? Similarly, why do hate crimes often go underreported? And ultimat...

Coffee with a Survivor: Marion Deichmann
I'm in Pensacola Florida don't guess you could open a branch here the food looks marvelous!!!! I'm sorry for what you're family suffered I'm not Jewish but I support Israel and the Jewish people we have a restaurant here but nothing of your caliber!!! I wish you the very best Shalom 🙏🇱🇷🇮🇱🌹
It tickles me to see how in the US, the Jews can speak about them being survivors but when the African Americans do it they're remembering the past that should be forgotten. Nobody should forget their past, period.
Totally different situations not to take away from the suffering of any people the aim with the Jews was and still is to totally wipe out a whole race of people slavery was just that not so much as to kill but to enslave both a horror no one could fully understand unless they lived it it's evil I also hate the Indians had all their land stolen one day God will return and make all things right that's what I'm waiting for ✌️🙏😞
what happened to your mom's younger sister? did she survive also?
❤🕎✡️
Thank you for sharing these very powerful moving stories. I used to pray we would never forget what happened. We have forgotten and October 7, 2023 it has begun again. My heart breaks for Israel and the Jews.
FREE PALESTINE
hatred never frees anyone 🙏🇱🇷🇮🇱
Oy Vey that looks to die for!
Manny's is the best Jewish Deli in the USA, hands down. I worked in the loop my entire career. We had a bunch of Jewish Delis back inthe day. Over time they disappeared and it was so sad to see. The Dill Pickle was just down the street from where I worked. i ate there once a week minimum. Manny's though, nothing comes close. The guy who makes the corned beef and pastrami sans has been there forever. He's got a personality as big as the Sears Tower and is funnier than heck. He makes one heck of a san too. I haven't been to the city in forever. When our kids were young we used to go to Manny's on Saturdays and they fell in love with the food and charm of the old place. I'm not Jewish, but I worked with many wonderful Jewish people. They taught me a ton about their culture and food. Just a few weeks ago I talked to an old Jewish buddy of mine. We worked together for decades. We always treated each other like family, and that was the case with so many of Jewish friends. This was really a treat to watch, as it brought back so many fond memories. Thank you for making and sharing this gem. I still remember when Kenny at Manny's had a full head of hair. :)...Hey wait, so did I back then. Cheers
Tried to open in KC, FAILED. No meat was cooked in the deli, all shipped from Chicago. Walk in and there were no smells. It was horrible. Broadway Deli FAILED, it was really bad. Manny's folks, can you explain this?
What an amazing story.
Idk but all turkic haters can have excuse to hate turks lol
That mother that suffocated her baby was courageous even if in the end they were all found and killed. She knew that if her baby’s cries caught the soldiers’ attention everyone with her would have been killed. She sacrificed her baby probably not so much for herself, but for the others. I don’t know if I would ever have that kind of strength.
The Jewish food scene in Chicago is not what it was, especially with regard to kosher food. My grandmother lived in Chicago and we made trips there a couple times a year in the early 1960's. I was too young to know the names of the places where we got food but I remember the food. On a fairly recent trip to Chicago I was very disappointed. Some food didn't match my memories and other food I couldn't even find. 1) I was looking for the delicate Great Lakes smoked chubs. I was told pollution killed off the fish. 2) There was a certain greek olive sold by Jewish places I loved. It was not the regular canned black olive nor the kalamata. No one knew what I was talking about. 3) I wanted a cookie we called eier kichel but no one had it. 4) I wanted plain mandelbroit, not with chocolate or other things. No one had plain. 5) There were the wonderful onion rolls. They were common. Now they have mostly disappeared and what I found was not good. 6) My father used to say that the best Jewish rye bread, better than New York, came from Chicago. This was a huge disappointment. It was not the same as it used to be.
Que puis-je dire?. Nous les humains, peuvent être horrible. Je pense, que quelque fois, je préférais être un animal. Je suis désolée pour vôtre peine, ainsi que celle de million de juifs, qui ont péri durant la deuxième guerre mondial. 😢
FROM WHAT i HAVE HEARD, AS A democrat, THEY ALL HATE jews!~ YOU JEWS ARE THE PROBLEM.... DEMS And KAMALA will destroy you.... KAMALA said so.. SHE IS FOR THE PALESTINIANS!
Thank you, IHMEC. More people need to be exposed to this side of the culture in Chicago.
Number wise you would think Jews are an important part of Chicago culture but the Jews of Chicago have become very assimilated. It is not like the old days. Most Chicago Jews live like Gentiles and have lost their distinctive culture.
Never again didn’t work. It keeps happening again and again. People don’t even pay attention anymore.
It is sad that the War Crime trials in Nuremberg compounded the German atrocities by killing the captured German criminals. In an enlightened society their can be no justification of the death sentence.
Sadly, many countries' dictatorships post world war II do not value human life, so while this specific crime to this specific people has not been repeated, we still have other Mass M* -- China, Cambodia, Rwanda, and probably North Korea -- how does one stop such a thing in such leaders in these countries?
The criminals associated with this horror escaped justice .
To admit guilt, Eichmann would have had to face who he really was. How does someone admit that they are truly soulless, devoid of all that makes a person a real human being. None of those executed had the courage to look inside at what they were and had become
there are the testimonies of Hoess, commandant of Auschwitz and of Ohlendorf, commander of one Einsatz Gruppe at the main Nuremberg Trial. even giving testimony of how the orders from Himmler were given. both were at this first main trial as witnesses. everyone can listen to this, it is here on CZcams. in addition you find also the original speach at Posen of Himmler, in which he is directly refering to the kills. proof is rock solid hard
I’ve listened to more than half of Geiringer’s lecture but won’t listen to the rest. Twice I’ve heard him equate the word partisans with terrorists. If he’s slyly suggesting that today’s Islamic terrorists are no worse than the anti-Nazi partisans of WWII then he can take a hike. I also don’t like his casual and conversational tone.
Looking forward to hearing and seeing Anita Lasker tomorrow at the museum! Thanks to IHM, Take a Stand, and all sponsors of Holocaust education!

The U.S government funded the Cambodian genocide. The Nixon administration militarily supplied the Khmer Rouge to overthrow the Khmer Republic, and then financially funded Pol Pot to carry his genocidal campaigns against civilians.
P.S. The whole "Hatred, Racist, DEI" mantra is an emotional thwart. What you guys NEVER seem to want to address is the what, who, and whys. While you had Mengele in Western Europe, in the East, you had Hirohito. Both doing medical experiments of the worst kind on people. this wasn't a Jewish factor. That's so over. It was the Eastern part of world. The Eurasians. Japan married into the Hapsburgs. AUSTRIA. The original home base for all the Natzi movements, including Transhumanism. They have been trying to merge science and the occult for centuries. Never considering the ramifications by a higher power. All those dancing rituals in front of CERN, all those mojo spells put into music, all the torture used on people to measure their ability to cope and then experiment with their splitting, is all in err. Not ONE of you. In ANY University, ever did anything to stop the use of children through CPS, in all these medical experiments. Not one. Now, all of these Universities are going bye bye. Removing God from the institutions has created monsters.
I wanna know the truth about Mengele and Jeffrey Von Eppstein. And Antarctica. And Fauci and AIDS.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful and courageous story.

“I hate Illinois Nazis.” - Joliet Jake
It actually started in the late 1800’s with the hamidian massacres
My son just went here, at first he was like I don't want to go to school today because we have to go to some Holocaust museum.(Some Holocaust museum.) Just his tone shook me. I met a survivor back in the 80s while I was in high school. We were not told what the assembly was for just that it was mandatory. We were introduced to her as Mrs Shapiro, such a lovely woman. She told us over the next 3 hours, her story and let me tell you, she was and will always be the most powerful person I have ever met. She told us about her life before, during, and after the occupation by Nazis. The changes she went through, the hate and pain of physical abuse, and the suffering of losses of her whole family and friends she watched die. For my son who does not have a prejudice in his body to balk at going to this place of reverence, for the way he said the bus would be so uncomfortable. I teared up and told him that he had to go and to think about the discomfort of the ones who were treated like cattle and forced into cages. Medical torture, work, sickness. " Your discomfort is insignificant to those who were forced. Then I told him to remember them and understand. I was so mad, hurt, shocked, saddened by how he responded at first but now he knows, he came home and was in tears then he told me he understood my reaction. All our youth need to make this small trek so they can know who they need to remember and fight, believe me it will teach them.
I went to the Auschwitz museum,the huge pile of glasses and the huge pile of hair reduced me to tears.😢😢😢😢
I grew up near Lippstadt Mr.Mueller ! Thank you so much for your contribution
According to Holocaust researcher Professor Christopher Browning three million jews (half) were shot face-to-face by the unfit for military service Einsatzgruppen murder squads.

Why haven’t the Illinois Holocaust museum mentioned one word about the Oct 7 holocaust that occurred in Israel with the slaughter and rape of hundreds of Jewish women and children, shame on you
Thanks for sharing your story!
Why did you ignore Israel ?
Whataboutism
It seems Israel has used the atrocities committed against the Jewish people and applied them to Palestinians. How is Gaza any different from the Warsaw ghetto for example? It really doesn’t look like the world has learn anything from the evils of the Nazi’s and we’re letting it all happen again and because it’s Israel who is the oppressor everyone is too scared to call it out.
Israel are doing nothing like that at all Hamas is doing it Israel is trying to stop hamas from ever attacking Israel again Its nice to see you ignore all the murders, rapes, hostage taking, that palestine has done and blsme the victims.
