The cutting-edge exhibit, co-sponsored with the University of Southern California (USC) Shoah Foundation, received much media fanfare, including interviews with survivors whose likenesses were featured. Aaron Elster, a survivor and active member of the museum's board of directors, became the poster child of the new center's opening. “I think the technology puts this museum on a totally different level,” said Elster in an interview standing in front of his holographic proxy. Elster argued that the ability for future generations to engage with survivors themselves once living memory of the Holocaust has died would prevent the reduction of the Holocaust to “a sentence or at best a paragraph in World War II history.”1 Incidentally, Elster died only six months after this interview, on Yom Hashoah or Holocaust Day of Remembrance. In his obituary, the Chicago Sun-Times highlighted the role of Elster's hologram in asserting the perpetual relevance of his testimony.2Elster's conscious involvement in his own preservation exemplified a larger pattern characterizing the Illinois Holocaust Museum's development. A site that receives its heaviest traffic from school groups across the Midwest, the IHMEC owes much of its present success to the passage of the 1990 Illinois Mandate for Holocaust Education, which came about through the active lobbying from area survivors like Erna Gans, the first president of the IHMEC's parent organization, the Holocaust Memorial Foundation of Illinois (HMFI). It was founded by a core community of Jewish survivors who committed themselves to educating non-Jews about the Shoah and its lessons. The HMFI began as a grassroots organization composed entirely of Holocaust survivors and their immediate family members. After the 1990 mandate's enactment, the local survivor leadership recognized their need to extend authority to outside professionals to build an infrastructure capable of sustaining their organization's mission for subsequent generations. The most obvious element of growth centered on the relocation from a storefront on Main Street in Skokie to a larger and more comprehensive museum and education center in that suburb, which opened in 2009. While the museum's move to a larger facility brought outside voices to the table of Holocaust memory and education, the survivor lay leadership ensured that both their own narrative authority and their continued presence in decision-making would be maintained in the transition process.When viewed from a broader perspective, Holocaust commemoration often involves mediation between the collective or professional narrative and that of the eyewitness. In many studies of memory theory, this phenomenon has ofte","PeriodicalId":17416,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Illinois State Historical Society (1998-)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135722145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
