SKOKIE, Ill. (AP) -- The Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center in suburban Skokie has a new exhibit designed for kids ages 8 to 11.

The exhibit is called "Make a Difference: Miller Family Youth Exhibition." It uses technology and interactive games in a park-like setting to teach lessons on tolerance.

The 65,000 square-foot museum opened in April. It is the largest of its kind in the Midwest and features 2,000 survivor testimonies, most of them from Skokie area residents.
