October 17 – November 13, 2025, The Journey Back: A VR Experience. On behalf of the Illinois Holocaust Museum, in partnership with visionary VR producers East City Films, we are thrilled to present The Journey Back: A VR Experience at RVCC. Featuring 3 Virtual Reality (VR) films: Letters from Drancy, Walk to Westerbork, and Escape to Shanghai. Audiences will “walk” with Holocaust Survivors through childhood hometowns, concentration camps, and places of hiding as they share their stories of survival. Filmed on location in the Netherlands, Germany, France, and the United States, each survivor's story is brought to life using 360-degree video technologies alongside 3D environments, animation, motion capture, and a spatial soundtrack. Schools, community groups, and individuals are welcome to register. This VR experience is free and open to the public. Contact [email protected] to register.
