SUMMARY:Yom Hashoah Commemoration: The Future of Holocaust Education
DESCRIPTION:The Future of Our Past: Preserving History Through Innovation\n
 As we transition into an era without living Holocaust survivors\, the urge
 ncy to preserve their voices has never been greater. The Illinois Holocaus
 t Museum &amp\; Education Center (IHMEC) is meeting this challenge by pio
 neering world-class\, immersive technologies that ensure these stories ar
 e never lost to time.\n\nJoin Kelley Szany\, Senior Vice President of Educ
 ation &amp\; Exhibitions\, as she explores how IHMEC is transforming histo
 ry from a passive lesson into a personal encounter\, connecting thousands 
 around the world. Highlights include:\n\n 	Interactive Survivor Testimony:
  High-definition interviews powered by voice-recognition technology\, all
 owing audiences to ask questions and receive real-time responses from surv
 ivors. These are not passive recordings—they are deeply personal\, one-o
 n-one conversations that reveal what survivors saw\, how they endured\, an
 d their lessons for us today.\n 	Cinematic Virtual Reality: Five award-wi
 nning\, 360-degree virtual reality films that allow visitors to walk along
 side survivors through their hometowns\, concentration camps\, and sites o
 f hiding.\n\nAt a moment when antisemitism and hatred are resurgent\, thes
 e digital experiences are more than historical records—they are a powerf
 ul defense against ignorance and indifference. By merging the transformati
 ve power of storytelling with revolutionary technology\, IHMEC is building
  a vital bridge from the past to the present.\nFeaturing survivor Osi Slad
 ek\, Cherie Karo Schwartz\, and the Colorado Hebrew Chorale.\nRegister HER
 E. There is no cost to attend the program.
