MHM responds to reports of antisemitism in Victorian schools
Hate is learned. It can be unlearned.
The Melbourne Holocaust Museum is deeply concerned about the reports of antisemitic incidents at two Victorian state schools. The incidents described are the antithesis of our mission and the core values we strive to instil in visitors every day.
Our aim is to ‘educate against hate’, making sure all Victorian school children comprehend the meaning of respect, tolerance and understanding of each other. We need to ensure that all students understand the power of words, and the fact that words can create lasting damage.
