    Tickets are also available for a June 9 performance of Annelies, the choral setting of the Diary of Anne Frank, at the Harris Theater for Music and Dance, Millennium Park (205 E. Randolph Dr.), made possible by Mesirow Financial.

    A pre-concert discussion with the composer and musicians will be held at 5 p.m., and the concert will begin at 6 p.m. The free tickets are available from the theater box office at 312.334.7777, using the promo code USHMM.

    Beginning at 10 a.m., the Museum's free, family-friendly, daylong public event will feature a variety of opportunities to engage with Museum resources, people, and programs and pay tribute to local Holocaust survivors and World War II veterans. You can:
     
    • Conduct Holocaust-era family research in the Museum’s extensive archives.
    • Bring your own historic photos, documents, and other artifacts to review with a Museum curator.
    • Explore some of the unanswered—and unanswerable—questions about the Holocaust with educators, historians, and other experts.
    • View Holocaust survivor testimonies and archival films rarely seen outside the Museum.
    • Go behind-the-scenes with Museum curators to learn the stories of how certain artifacts became part of the collection.
    • Participate in a children’s art project to create “building blocks of hope.” (For children ages six and older.)
    • Help Holocaust survivors’ and victims’ families discover the fate of missing loved ones by participating in the World Memory Project.
    • Witness the presentation of the flags of the US Army liberating divisions.
