Holocaust by Bullets documents this lesser-known side of the Holocaust with eye-witness testimonies, photographs and archival materials. Sponsored by Bader Philanthropies, Inc., they Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, and Herb Kohl Philanthropies. Museum visit includes exhibit tour, workshop with Holocaust Educator, and optional presentation by Holocaust survivor or family member of a survivor.
