Jewish Holocaust Centre

About

We are an institution dedicated to the memory of the 6 million Jews who were murdered by the Nazis & their collaborators between 1933 and 1945.

Story

The Jewish Holocaust Centre was the fulfilment of a vision by Melbourne Holocaust survivors to create a memorial to the millions of Jews who were murdered between 1933 and 1945. The Centre was established under the patronage of Yad Vashem, Jerusalem and, from its humble beginnings in 1984, has grown to become an active and internationally-recognised institution dedicated to combating racism, hatred and prejudice by fostering tolerance and understanding.

I visited the Centre on my own! Wow! What an incredible eye-opener! A MUST place to visit, very educational but incredibly heartbreaking! This tour will definitely move you to tears! It's free entry, but definitely worth donating towards the Centre. Incredible books worth buying, from the foyer! Highly, highly recommend this place!
So informative, a tragic period of time that buggers belief.nThe building and spaces are beautifully presented, given the topic an absolute miracle.nThe staff were fantastic.
Incredible and poignant displays. Our group spent a few hours here listening to a Holocaust survivor and exploring the artifacts. Amazing experience.
The Jewish Holocaust Centre JHC formerly known as the Jewish Holocaust Museum and Research Centre was founded in Elsternwick, Melbourne, Australia, in 1984 by Holocaust survivors. Its mission is to commemorate the six million Jews murdered by the Nazis between 1933 and 1945.nnThe centre was founded without significant public or private funds and thus has always had to rely on support from Holocaust survivors, their relatives, volunteers and philanthropists. It is thanks to the unique contribution of Melbourne's Holocaust survivors that the JHC has become a vibrant institution. The Centre contains a specialist Holocaust library, a collection of over 1300 survivor video testimonials as well as thousands of original documents, photos, artworks and objects from the Holocaust period.nnJewish Holocaust CentrenThe purpose of the JHC is to fight racism and to encourage harmony within the community. It attempts to reach these goals by providing information about the Holocaust through its permanent exhibition and periodic temporary exhibitions. The main focus lies on the younger generation, and over 21,000 students visit the museum every year and participate in a powerful education program. In 2011 the museum was the recipient of the MAGNA Best Small Museum award by Museums Australia, following a redesign of the permanent exhibition.nnApart from guided tours through the museum, which are often led by Holocaust survivors, the JHC offers adult education programs, teacher training and also hosts lectures which are open to the public. Furthermore, the JHC provides assistance for Holocaust Survivors in cooperation with JewishCare, a Jewish welfare organization.
Absolutely a moving experience. Surprisingly well crafted and rooted in local survivors experiences.
