"What started in 1981 as a small storefront museum created by Holocaust survivors after an attempted neo-Nazi march in Skokie, has grown into the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center, a 65,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility designed by architect Stanley Tigerman. Opened in 2009, it’s now the third-largest Holocaust museum in the world, drawing more than 130,000 annual visitors. The museum’s permanent collection is comprised of more than 28,000 items donated by Holocaust survivors and their descendants, and there are three permanent exhibitions here across three floors." - Elaine Glusac
