The exhibit will present information on the Holocaust in chronological order through first-person accounts, historical photos and maps.

"It is a powerful exhibit and incredible well done," said previous Holocaust Education Center of the Champaign-Urbana Jewish Federation chair Rebecca Lawson. "Getting to a major Holocaust museum is not easy for most people in our area, and this exhibit will give people a similar experience on a smaller scale without having to travel very far."

Courage to Remember will be in the center court of the mall. It is free and open to the public Monday-Friday from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.
