The Stories at Jewish Museum Milwaukee
When asked why he is such a proponent of Jewish Museum Milwaukee, Darryl's Morin answer is the stories... stories that remind us of the need to be ever-vigilent of hate... the true strenght of humanity... and that regardless of any cultural differences we may have or may exist that, at the end of the day, we are all one. - Darryl Morin

Milwaukee Holocaust Survivor Shares His Story So People Remember There Was a Holocaust
Werner Richheimer survived two concentration camps before coming to the United States and starting a new life in southeast Wisconsin.
He wants people to remember there was a Holocaust.
Somewhere in this world, there was a lunatic that came into power that was able to brain, brainwash his own people into believing what he wanted them to believe, Richheimer said.
He only learned what happened to his parents seven or eight years ago, when a man in Germany, who was studying Jewish families that perished, tracked down how and when his mother and father died in the concentration camp.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Milwaukee (, locally ) is the largest city in the state of Wisconsin and the fifth-largest city in the Midwestern United States. The seat of the eponymous county, it is on Lake Michigan's western shore. Ranked by its estimated 2014 population, Milwaukee was the 31st largest city in the United States. The city's estimated population in 2017 was 595,351. Milwaukee is the main cultural and economic center of the Milwaukee metropolitan area which had a population of 2,043,904 in the 2014 census estimate. It is the third-most densely populated metropolitan area in the Midwest, surpassed only by Chicago and Detroit, respectively .Milwaukee is considered a Gamma global city as categorized by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network with a regional GDP of over $105 billion.
The first Europeans to pass through the area were French Catholic Jesuit missionaries, who were ministering to Native Americans, and fur traders. In 1818, the French Canadian explorer Solomon Juneau settled in the area, and in 1846, Juneau's town combined with two neighboring towns to incorporate as the city of Milwaukee. Large numbers of German immigrants arrived during the late 1840s, after the German revolutions, with Poles and other eastern European immigrants arriving in the following decades. Milwaukee is known for its brewing traditions, begun with the German immigrants.
Beginning in the early 21st century, the city has been undergoing its largest construction boom since the 1960s. Major new additions to the city in the past two decades include the Milwaukee Riverwalk, the Wisconsin Center, Miller Park, The Hop (streetcar system), an expansion to the Milwaukee Art Museum, Milwaukee Repertory Theater, and Pier Wisconsin, as well as major renovations to the UW–Milwaukee Panther Arena. The Fiserv Forum opened in late 2018.
Holocaust history could soon be mandatory
Six million Jews and millions of other died in the Holocaust. Research shows that many young people especially millennials don’t know this. Now Wisconsin lawmakers are proposing a bill with the hope of bringing Holocaust education to the social studies curriculum.
