Designed by Stephen Jolson, a third-generation survivor of the Holocaust, the Memorial Room provides visitors with the opportunity to honour and remember Holocaust victims and survivors.

The space features photos, memorial star plaques and symbolic design pieces that will steer you through a quiet but powerful experience – as we collectively remember the past.

Established by survivor volunteers over 30 years ago, the MHM library is an important centre of Holocaust resources and research. Our special collection includes artefacts and materials, with a focus on Melbourne survivor stories.

Internationally renowned artist and celebrated Australian sculptor, Andrew Rogers, created the Pillars of Witness for the MHM building in 1999.

Recently reinstalled to our new museum building, the Pillars of Witness portray an evocative narrative of Holocaust trauma and Jewish survival – and encourages visitors to reflect and remember.
