Discover the impact of virtual reality and “walk” with Holocaust Survivors as they share their powerful stories of persistence and triumph against the worst humanity has to offer. During the segment ‘A Promise Kept,’ we’ll follow Fritzie Fritzshall as she returns to her hometown and the notorious Auschwitz killing center, sharing her promise made to the 599 women who helped save her life. Should time allow, we will explore the stories of other survivors as well.

The Journey Back, A VR Experience was created by Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center in collaboration with East City Films and made possible through the generous support of Diane C. Hunter.

Events are held on November 6th at 10:30am AND Wednesday November 12th at 6:30pm, both of which are in the library’s South Reading Room. Ages 18+ are welcome. Facilitated by Ashley P [315-785-7714].
