A memorial for hope and healing
As custodians of truth, we’re committed to honouring the lives of survivors – and the memory of the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust.
Who we are
The Melbourne Holocaust Museum is Australia’s largest organisation dedicated solely to Holocaust education, research and remembrance. Founded by survivors in 1984, we have welcomes more than 1 million visitors since we opened to our award-winning exhibitions and programs. Our collection holds more than 1,300 Holocaust survivor testimonies and 20,000 artefacts and we educate more than 30,000 students annually.
Our vision is to inspire a world free of Hate. Through survivor testimony, inspiring exhibitions and meaningful opportunities, we want every visitor to leave carrying something forward: a sharper eye for prejudice, a stronger voice against it, and the courage to act. History doesn’t repeat by accident; it repeats when the lessons aren’t passed on. That’s the responsibility we hold, and the one we hope you’ll share. This is a place where hope shines brighter than hate.
