Rosenkranz Oration 2022

Donate today. Change the future

The Melbourne Holocaust Museum is Australia’s largest institution solely dedicated to Holocaust education, research and remembrance. We exist to keep the voices of Holocaust survivors alive through education and memorialisation in order to combat antisemitism, racism and prejudice. 

Please support us to ensure we can continue to deliver engaging events and educational programs.  

The power of truth: Holocaust education in the 21st century

Join us for the first major event in the new Melbourne Holocaust Museum, exploring Holocaust education in the 21st century with Sara J. Bloomfield, director of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Sara will be speaking about the importance and relevance of Holocaust education and museums in the 21st century. Based on her experience of over 30 years with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, she will explore the challenges we face in the world today, and how we can respond to them using the power of truth.

Following her presentation Sara will appear in conversation with Jayne Josem, CEO of the Melbourne Holocaust Museum.

Betty & Shmuel Rosenkranz Oration

Our annual Betty & Shmuel Rosenkranz Oration connects Melbourne audiences with international thought leaders to gain a deeper understanding of the Holocaust within a global context.

In 2008, the Melbourne Holocaust Museum inaugurated the Oration in memory of the late Betty Rosenkranz, and to honour the legacy of the late Shmuel, the second president of the Melbourne Holocaust Museum.
