Thousands attend opening of Ill. Holocaust museum
Thousands of people have attended the opening of a new Holocaust museum in suburban Chicago, with videotaped remarks by President Barack Obama kicking off the event.

The new museum is considered the largest of its kind in the Midwest. It houses more than 2,000 Holocaust survivor testimonies.
