Skokie Museum Exhibits Nazi-Looted Items

A museum in Skokie is currently displaying 63 Jewish ceremonial objects that the Nazis looted during World War II, but the exhibition is not really about the objects--it’s a reminder of lives lived and lost during war, Skokie Review reported.

The display at the Illinois Holocaust Museum was made possible through the Jewish Cultural Reconstruction collection of Skokie’s Hebrew Theological College; the total collection included 17,000 objects of Judaica, 500,000 religious books and 1,000 Torah scrolls, the newspaper reported.
