Heritage College teacher addressing her students

Teaching about the Holocaust in classrooms can be complex – and delicate. At the MHM, we’re here to empower teachers with the knowledge, pedagogy and confidence to deliver Holocaust education meaningfully and safely. From professional development to school programs to educational materials, we can support your teaching journey in multiple ways. If you have any questions or need additional resources, get in touch with us.

Learning resources

The MHM Education team has developed a wide range of free resources for teachers, in line with the Australian curriculum.

All our materials focus on Melbourne-based survivors, so you can share the experiences of survivors in our own country – and community.

Explore our teaching guides, lesson plans, learning activities and worksheets.

Professional development

We support and equip Victorian schools and teachers in implementing mandated Holocaust education in Years 9 and 10.

Register for our 8-Step Teacher Professional Learning Program – which is free for all Victorian government secondary schools.

School programs

Our school programs for Years 5 to 12 are aligned with key curriculum frameworks – and safely delivered by expert Holocaust educators.

Available onsite and online, our age-specific programs allow students to connect with Melbourne-based survivors through testimonies and artefacts.

Planning your visit

To help you make the most of your museum experience, we’ve prepared some important information for school group visits.

From frequently asked questions to what you can expect – here’s everything you need to know before visiting the MHM.

Our child safety commitment

At the MHM, we’re committed to providing a child-safe environment. We support and respect all children and young people – and their safety and wellbeing are our priority.

Our practices are inspired by Holocaust victim Henryk Goldszmit, who published the ‘Declaration of Children’s Rights’ in 1928 under the pen name Janusz Korczak.
