Hidden exhibition entry.

The Hidden program is designed as an introduction to the Holocaust for students aged 10 to 14. At the heart of this program, is the experiences of seven children that survived the Holocaust in hiding.  Their stories allow students to hear first-hand the survivor’s perseverance and bravery, along with the acts of kindness and courage of others, that helped to save their lives.  

 

The experience includes testimonials, photos and artefacts that keep the child’s perspective in mind.

  • Ensures age-appropriate engagement with the Holocaust. 
  • Is aligned to the Victorian curriculum.  
  • Is delivered by expert Holocaust educators.
