During the week of Kristallnacht (Night of Broken Glass), Illini Hillel is providing an immersive Holocaust museum experience at the Hillel building (503 E John St). This pop-up exhibit will feature informative panels from Yad Vashem's exhibit, "How Was This Humanly Possible?", walking you through the entire timeline of the Holocaust (before, during, and after), which will be displayed alongside personal, local stories to honor both the survivors and those who perished within our own Urbana-Champaign community.
Before beginning the museum experience, a facilitator will give a brief overview as to what the museum displays and there will also be a 15-minute debrief discussion to process what you witnessed. We hope you will join us for this meaningful, educational experience.
*You can either sign up just yourself and be added to a group, or you can sign up an entire group (up to 10 people).
