ONE.

We exist to amplify the voices of Holocaust survivors as a catalyst for greater understanding and acceptance of difference, to inspire a better future.

The museum is dedicated to the memory of the six million Jews murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators between 1933 and 1945.

We consider the finest memorial to all victims of racist policies to be an educational program which aims to combat antisemitism, racism and prejudice in the community and fosters understanding between people.

Exhibition open from 5 September – 12 October

Entry to this exhibition is included with ticket purchase to any Melbourne Holocaust Museum exhibition 

In remembering the Holocaust, we recognise the resilience and endurance of survivors in their search for security and peace. In June 2024, five child survivors of the Holocaust were interviewed by ABC Education for their Journeys of Hope project.

Zachor: Ask a Survivor invites you to listen to the journeys of these five individuals and learn how displacement and the search for belonging continue to shape their identities in Australia.   

Experience the museum
Our core exhibition Everybody Had a Name is an immersive exploration of the Jewish experience of the Holocaust, commencing with pre-war Jewish life, and concluding with how survivors rebuilt their lives in Melbourne.
What's happening at MHM
