In partnership with Melbourne Jewish Book Week and The Jewish Quarterly we invite you to a compelling conversation with award-winning UK journalist Tanya Gold and Dr Daniel Haumschild, Manager of Exhibitions and Storytelling at the Melbourne Holocaust Museum.
In novels, film and popular culture, the Holocaust genre is booming. As Tanya Gold shows in this crucial Jewish Quarterly essay, however, the creators of these works all too often put the success of their product above the integrity of the story. Unfortunately, when creators engage in crass and self-serving exercises of exploitation, the results are shameful fictions that desecrate the past and misrepresent the Jewish people of today.
Tanya will join us virtually from the United Kingdom.

Tanya Gold is an award-winning British freelance journalist. She writes for Harper’s magazine, The Spectator, the Jewish Chronicle and the New York Times. She won best feature writer at the British Press awards in 2010 and a Foreign Press Association award in 2015.
Dr. Dan Haumschild is the Manager of Exhibitions and Storytelling at the Melbourne Holocaust Museum and a Visiting Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies and Yeshiva University. After 20 years of teaching, museum work, and consulting, Dan’s favourite professional challenge revolves around creating meaningful experiences that invite people into a stronger relationship with the past, with one another, and with themselves. His ongoing research focuses on the relationship between public history, education, and political agency in communities recovering from mass atrocity.
Please join us at Melbourne Holocaust Museum for an in conversation.
Jayne Josem will host a conversation with Dr Breann Fallon (Melbourne Holocaust Museum), Sidra Moshinsky (Jewish Museum of Australia) and Nina Sanadze (Goldstone Gallery) as they explore the role museums and galleries play in promoting social cohesion in an increasingly divided society. Given the recent rise in antisemitism and ongoing issues with racism, what are these museums and galleries doing to counter these disturbing phenomena? Can an exhibition change people’s perception and behaviour?

Judy was born in Lodz, Poland in September 1936. She was 3 years old when the Nazis marched into town in 1939. They came to arrest her father, but luckily, he was not home. Judy’s father then decided it was time for the family to leave. They went to Warsaw with the hope of not being recognised, but were forced into ghetto when arrived before being moved to the Otwock ghetto. Judy’s father managed to smuggle her sister and Judy out of the ghetto and spent the remainder of the war hiding in a convent, a school for the blind and many other places. At the end of the war Judy and her sister were reunited with their mother, but Judy’s father who had helped save many by placing them in hiding, never returned.
Judy, her mother, and sister arrived in Australia in 1952, the day before her 16th birthday.

Sir Sidney Nolan OM AC CBE RA is an artist who has always inspired strong feelings among his admirers and detractors. In this lecture Jaynie Anderson AM OSI FAHA will challenge the conventional cliches of the biographies written about Nolan to date with reference to previously unknown archival evidence. Nolan’s relations to Jewish survivors of the Holocaust will be discussed. New documentary evidence about his admiration for Leonhard Adam and Yosl Bergner will be revealed from the time he lived in St Kilda as a child, and in Parkville in the 1940s. Adam and Bergner inspired Nolan to create works of art about Indigenous subjects which remained a lifelong preoccupation for him. The early Jewish legacy to Nolan was of continual significance and resurfaces in his preoccupation with Auschwitz.
The exhibition will be open to the public for viewing prior to the event.

Join us for a compelling discussion exploring how the 1961 televised trial of Adolf Eichmann reverberated across Australian society. Eichmann, a key architect of the Holocaust, was responsible for organizing the logistics of mass deportations to Nazi death camps. Though geographically distant, Australia was deeply connected to the Holocaust through its large survivor community. The trial – centered on survivor testimony rather than the perpetrator – marked a global shift in Holocaust consciousness. In Melbourne, it sparked greater public engagement with Holocaust memory, influencing commemorations, media, and even local art, including works by Sidney Nolan now on display at the Melbourne Holocaust Museum.
