For my outside cultural visit, I decided to visit the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center located in Skokie. It is located here in Skokie because Skokie had the highest number of Holocaust survivors. I had always wanted to visit this museum, but had never had the opportunity.

You had to be actively looking out for a sign just to…
