In a quiet corner of Mount Carmel Catholic Cemetery in Hillside, Illinois, there’s a grave that defies the silence — because it moves.

Cermak, a man with a legacy as complex as his final tribute. Cermak was Mayor of Chicago when he was fatally wounded in 1933 during an assassination attempt on President-elect Franklin D. R
