Illinois Holocaust Museum 2013 Annual Report

2013 Annual Report

Educating Engaging Empowering

Dear Friends, When I was 13 years old, a stranger saved my life with just four words. Upon arriving at Auschwitz, he whispered to me, “Tell them you’re 15.” I did and was considered old enough to work—and my life was spared. I promised to tell the world what happened, and as president of the Illinois Holocaust Museum, I am proud to convey this essential history to help transform the future.

It is with great pleasure that I share with you our first Annual Report. You will see many of our 2013 accomplishments highlighted in these pages.

We’re especially proud that this year we attracted a national and international audience to our Museum exhibitions and programs—more than 100,000 children and adults from across the Midwest and beyond, representing diverse ages, races, religions and backgrounds.

While education is at the heart of all we do, we know it takes more than awareness to enable real change.

Our exhibitions and educational programs all serve to educate, engage and empower youth and adults to speak out for justice, fairness and respect within their own communities. Diversity and inclusiveness are central to the way we honor the legacy of the Holocaust.

Yes, the world has changed dramatically from the time of the Holocaust, but unfortunately, human nature has not. The genocides in Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur are chilling reminders. Closer to home, online and offline bullying is far too prevalent among our youth.

As we approach our fifth anniversary, the Museum is on a path to growth. We will continue to fulfill our mission to preserve the legacy of the Holocaust by honoring those who were lost and by teaching universal lessons that combat hatred, prejudice and indifference.

With your help, we can continue to make a difference today and for generations to come.

Best regards,

Fritzie Fritzshall Holocaust Survivor and Museum President

Teacher & Student Education Highlights 2013 Educating, Engaging, Empowering Education is humanity’s most effective tool to create meaningful, lasting change. Our innovative educational programs enable teachers to powerfully connect the history of the Holocaust with human rights and individual responsibility, inspiring students to want to make a difference.

Educating teachers onsite More than 250 Midwest educators participated in our professional development workshops and seminars at the Museum, which served to deepen their understanding of the Holocaust, genocide and human rights, and demonstrated to them how to connect these complex topics in their classrooms.

This is a critical part of fulfilling our mission as Illinois requires that all teachers include Holocaust and genocide education in their curriculum, but does not provide guidance in fulfilling this mandate.

We provide a diverse offering of educational resources to not only satisfy these requirements, but to make it a truly personal experience for their students.

One accomplishment of this past year was formalizing our partnership with the Chicago Teacher’s Union, resulting in a sizable increase in both the attendance of Chicago Public School teachers in our trainings and in student field trips.

“i loved this workshop! it really made me rethink my teaching methods and redirect my strategies. i now plan to teach the holocaust in a totally different way.”

7th Grade Teacher, William C. Goudy School

Reaching teachers offsite Our Teaching Trunks help educators create meaningful, age-appropriate lessons on the Holocaust, human rights, genocide and character education. Using award-winning fiction and non-fiction, historical reference materials, as well as engaging DVDs and teaching posters, the Museum’s literature-based Teaching Trunk program provides K-12 educators with a wide array of innovative classroom resources. All materials are carefully chosen to align to state and national learning standards.

4,863 2

Students used our Teaching Trunk resources at 51 Midwest schools

“i learned how to become a leader and have courage. if i see someone bullying someone else, i will step in and tell them to stop.�

6th Grade Student, St. Giles School

Sponsoring field trips for all A visit to our Museum is the most personal way that students can learn about the history of the Holocaust and how to apply its essential lessons. The opportunity to interact with creative exhibits, take a docent-led tour, view historical artifacts and hear eyewitness testimonies creates a transformational hands-on learning experience.

Many schools, however, lack the funds to support these trips. This year we were pleased to award Opportunity Scholarships to subsidize the admission and transportation expenses for over 10,000 children from 151 schools. More than half of these schools were located in low-income areas in Chicago.

45,000 Students

from 556 schools participated in field trips

Teaching universal lessons We hosted hundreds of students from across the Midwest at our on-site Student Leadership Day programs, teaching today’s generation how to prevent the past from becoming their future; engaging them in discussions about perspectives other than their own, and facilitating the creation of action plans to promote greater acceptance and understanding in their communities.

In Make a Difference! The Harvey L. Miller Family Youth Exhibition, children ages 8-12 learned important life lessons in a highly interactive, creative space. Here they built skills that prepared them to be global citizens, learned the values of empathy, respect and celebrating differences, and how to be compassionate and take a stand against injustice.

“i was extremely impressed when i got to meet one of the survivors of the holocaust. she was standing right there in front of me and i got to ask her questions! that was an honor to me.”

6th Grade Student, Edward J. Tobin Elementary

66,547 Students/Adults

Survivors/Eyewitnesses in our Speakers' Bureau

347 Students

participated in the 2013 Leo & Antonia Gershanov Memorial Student Arts & Writing Contest

Speaking from the heart Our remarkable Speakers’ Bureau comprises 57 Holocaust survivors and eyewitnesses, making it one of the largest of its kind in the United States. Older children and teachers visiting the Museum have the opportunity to meet with survivors and learn core lessons of the Holocaust from their personal stories of resistance, resilience and courage. This year we expanded the reach of our Speakers’ Bureau by increasing visits to schools throughout the Midwest and by Skyping with classrooms throughout the United States and Europe.

The power of hearing a firsthand account from a survivor can change hearts and minds forever.

Encouraging student creativity Each year we provide the opportunity for middle and high school students to express their creativity, knowledge and core values. The 2013 Leo & Antonia Gershanov Memorial Student Arts & Writing Contest, Beyond the Inner Circle: Expanding My Boundaries of Caring, challenged them to create a poem, story, art or musical composition that reflected on this theme by drawing from the Holocaust or other modern genocides.

Public Education Highlights 2013 Educating, Engaging, Empowering Our dynamic public programming is designed to reach diverse audiences inside and outside our walls.

This year’s schedule of insightful programs, films, lectures, and rotating exhibitions was incredibly powerful, bringing attention to critical issues and drawing media accolades.

Commemorating a pivotal event Over 750 people were in attendance when we commemorated the 75th anniversary of the first organized act of Nazi violence, the November pogroms known as Kristallnacht. The program featured remarks from dignitaries and religious, academic and community leaders on the implications of Kristallnacht for contemporary society. Congressman Brad Schneider, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan along with the Honorable Alex Goldman-Shayman, Deputy Consul General of Israel to the Midwest were some of those that shared remarks.

Two world-renowned cantors–Albert Mizrahi and Benjamin Warschawski–performed with a choir adding beautiful, moving harmonies to the program. The event was webcast live and watched by thousands worldwide.

“Events such as Kristallnacht have their roots in both exclusionary legislation and bullying, from schools to the workplace. Acts of cruelty can lead to mass persecution.

Kristallnacht destroyed not just shops, but minds.”

Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan

Documenting a defining moment The winner of two prestigious 2013 Chicago/Midwest Emmy awards for Outstanding Historical Documentary and Outstanding Musical Composition, Skokie: Invaded But Not Conquered was produced by the Museum in partnership with filmmaker Todd Whitman. This original documentary examines the personalities and issues connected to the attempted neo-Nazi March in Skokie, Illinois in the 1970s, then the home to many Holocaust survivors. These events echoed around the world and spurred local survivors to create an educational anti-hate organization in a small Skokie storefront—the precursor to our Museum’s inception.

First broadcast in January on Chicago’s WTTW/Channel 11 to more than 150,000 viewers, the documentary is slated to air nationally in spring 2014.

“the holocaust happened in our recent past. humankind said ‘never again,’ yet the north korean prison camps have been in existence for almost 60 years.”

Shin Dong-hyuk

Highlighting one man’s fight to stop

Bringing light to one of North Korea’s

the Darfur genocide

darkest crimes

One of the year’s most riveting programs featured Dr. Mukesh Kapila, the author of Against a Tide of Evil, who detailed his fight to stop the genocide in Darfur during the time he was serving as head of the United Nations in Sudan. When his reports of genocide were met with silence from UN headquarters, he broke the news to the world media, and was subsequently dismissed from his position. As Mukesh stated, “One person’s actions can make a difference. It is possible to stand in the face of unconscionable evil. It is possible to stand alone; it is possible not to be one of those good men who choose to do nothing.”

A groundbreaking forum co-sponsored with the Committee for Human Rights in North Korea brought awareness to one of the gravest human rights violations in the world today: North Korea’s hidden gulags, described as “modern day concentration camps.” The program featured dignitaries, renowned journalists, scholars and the only North Korean escapee to have been born and raised in a prison camp, Shin Dong-hyuk. Translated simultaneously in Korean and English, the event served to mobilize opinion and actions calling for the dismantlement of the camps and protection for the survivors.

Police Education Highlights 2013 Educating, Engaging, Empowering Our acclaimed Law Enforcement and Democracy Initiative was launched in 2009 to use the lessons of the Holocaust to help local police recruits better understand the crucial role they play in shaping society. This year Mayor Rahm Emanuel mandated that all Chicago police recruits attend this full-day training, a testament to its effectiveness.

“this reminds us that we need to stay true to who we are. once we compromise what we believe in, not only do we harm ourselves, society suffers.”

Sergeant, Chicago Police Department

Examining the role of police Nearly 800 police recruits participated in intensive day-long trainings in 2013 due to a significant increase in new hires, far exceeding our expected goal of 150 attendees. All recruits learned about the role of the police in Nazi Europe through docent-led tours of the Museum and discussions with survivors. They also examined how to respond to hate crimes and bias incidents on the job, and explored the challenges of balancing the rights of people with the protection of society.

Reviewing the program’s impact Our police program was lauded on Chicago’s NBC 5 News this year, and police recruits gave it high marks in their post-program evaluations.

Museum Highlights 2013 Educating, Engaging, Empowering Our Museum creatively bridges the history of the Holocaust with modern day genocides and inspires visitors of all backgrounds to take a stand against intolerance and hatred. We further enriched the visitor experience in 2013 with the addition of diverse special exhibitions, an enhanced theater gallery, new and unique artifacts and an expanded cadre of docents.

Building bridges to diversity The Museum offered a number of well-attended special exhibitions designed to appeal to a broad cross-section of the Chicagoland community and create new partnerships with cultural organizations.

Courage: The Vision to End Segregation, The Guts to Fight for It, explored a little known, but remarkable civil rights victory: the inspirational late-1940s journey of Reverend J.A. De Laine and the brave citizens of Clarendon County as they fought to put an

end to a separate, unequal school system. Fire in My Heart: The Story of Hannah Senesh received tremendous praise from the Chicago Sun-Times, The Reader and Skokie Review for its poignant portrayal of an exceptional soldier/poet/author in the time of the Holocaust. Keep Calm and Carry On: Textiles on the Home Front in WWII Britain offered a rare glimpse into this period of history when fashion was used to boost morale and support the wartime effort.

Creating a lasting impression

Guiding with knowledge and passion

The Zev and Shifra Karkomi Permanent Exhibition’s moving summary film, which links the Holocaust to contemporary genocides, is now presented in a beautifully re-imagined gallery space. Sepia-toned portraits of victims and survivors from global genocides merge artfully across the Pritzker Theater’s curved walls, providing a personal and relevant backdrop for the film and leaving visitors with a powerful lasting impression.

This past year, 39 docent volunteers joined this valuable cadre, increasing our ranks by almost 40%.

These dedicated men and women undergo intensive training and must meet stringent qualifications before they can conduct Museum tours for visitors of all ages and backgrounds. Knowledgeable and passionate guides, our docents help visitors to connect the dots and make connections on both personal and historical levels.

“if at the end of the tour there is one person who has changed their perspective about the importance of respecting differences, then i have done my job!”

‘The Power Of One’ Survivor Highlights 2013 Educating, Engaging, Empowering Nothing compares to the strength of hearing the stories of the Holocaust firsthand from an actual survivor. Our cherished Holocaust survivors exemplify the Power of One by sharing their personal stories, and providing an unforgettable experience for all who hear them.

Dr. Max Epstein Max Epstein was born in Lodz, Poland in 1925. At the age of fourteen he and his family were forced into the Lodz Ghetto.

Upon the final liquidation of the ghetto in August 1944, Max and his mother were deported to Auschwitz, where they were separated. Max was sent from Auschwitz to several other camps. In 1945, he was liberated while on a transport through Czechoslovakia. Later that year, Max learned of his mother's survival and met her in Italy, where they boarded an “illegal” ship to Palestine. A fishing boat built for 50, the ship contained 950 passengers, mostly survivors. In 1952, he immigrated with his mother to the United States.

As a member of the Museum’s Speakers’ Bureau, Max emphasizes the importance of education and learning as a lifelong experience. This past year, he reached hundreds of Polish students through Skype teleconference, inspiring them with his story of survival and positive outlook. In Max’s words, “Since it was very dark, the few acts of kindness did appear as very bright sparks. I choose to concentrate on the sparks.”

12

Cipora Katz On the morning of November 2, 1942, Cipora’s uncle entered his family’s home in Semyiatich, Poland, and instructed his wife to notify the rest of the family that they were to assemble immediately, and flee the ghetto. Cipora, at the tender age of four, was wrapped in a blanket and carried by her father through a hole in the fence surrounding the ghetto. They ran with their family towards the neighboring forest. After sundown, Cipora’s uncle made his way toward the house of the Luchinski family, where they were placed in the family’s potato silo below ground. After almost two years of scarcely clinging to life, the Russian army liberated the family. In April of 1945, Cipora, her aunt and two cousins left for Israel and arrived in October of 1945.

A tireless advocate for peace and hope, Cipora is an active member of the Museum’s Library and Speakers’ Bureau volunteer community. In 2013, Cipora shared her story with thousands of local school children. One 10th grade student shared these words with Cipora after hearing her story: “Your strength is unstoppable, your courage is remarkable, and your hope is unbelievable. Meeting you was one of the greatest honors and you have shown me that at the end of any struggle, there is a door for happiness that you must open in order to start living again.”

Walter Reed Walter Reed was born Werner Rindsberg in 1924, in Würzburg, Germany. On Kristallnacht, Walter, age 14, was jailed for three days in nearby Kitzingen. In June 1939, while keeping his two younger brothers at home, Walter’s parents put him on a Kindertransport to Belgium to save his life. After living in a boys' home near Brussels, in 1940, Walter and over 90 other boys and girls were able to escape to southern France, where the children (aged 6 to 17) lived in a barn and later in an abandoned old chateau. They became known as the Children of La Hille. Through the efforts of his mother’s American siblings, he was able to leave France for New York in August 1941. Two years later he was drafted into the US Army and changed his name to Walter Reed when he became a United States citizen in 1943.

Back in Europe in 1944, he was transferred to the Military Intelligence Service and served in the 95th Infantry Division under General Patton. His MIS team's main task was to interrogate German prisoners and civilians near the front lines. A dedicated supporter and volunteer for the Museum, Walter shares his story with thousands reminding us all of the rare courage and resilience of one of history’s greatest generations.

This past year, Walter’s story was the inspiration for one of our Power of One advertisements.

This integrated campaign features stories of survivors or individuals who helped aid in the survival of Jews during the Holocaust— written as though they were taken from today’s headlines to bridge past and present.
