B ECAU S E TH E Y TO O K A STAN D

In the late 1970s, local Holocaust Survivors and concerned citizens of Skokie, IL., stood up against neo-Nazi threats to occupy their streets and vowed "Never Again." Their stand evolved into the 3rd largest Holocaust Museum in the world.

Stories of hatred, prejudice, and inhumanity still make headlines every day.
