Officials unveil exhibit about Jan Karski, who was the first to tell the U.S. and free world about the horrors of what the Nazis were doing to Jews and others in concentration camps in German-occupied Poland in the 1940s.
Officials gathered Monday to kick off an exhibit on the legacy of Jan Karski, who during World War II alerted the United States and the Western Allies that the Nazis were perpetrating the Holocaust in German-occupied Poland.

Washington Street, Chicago, from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The ceremony took place on April 8, known as Holocaust Remembrance Day, or Yom Hashoah…

The Illinois Treasurer’s Office watched the markets closely today, and will continue to watch the markets closely again tomorrow for fluctuations based on actions in other countries.
