Join the League for an enlightening tour of the Illinois Holocaust Museum that includes the following exhibitions:
* Voices of Genocide explores how and why genocide continues to occur across geography and time. Learn from survivors and descendants of genocide in America, Guatemala, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Rwanda and Burma about the common conditions and warning signs that can lead to genocide and how recognizing these factors help determine efforts toward intervention and preservation.
* Kindertransport – Rescuing Children on the Brink of War showcases the astonishing rescue effort that, in only nine months, brought thousands of unaccompanied children from Nazi Europe to the United Kingdom. Through personal artifacts, stories, and firsthand testimony, those who lived through the “Kindertransport” program tell its history..
