Exhibition open from 23 January – 1 March
Entry to this exhibition is included with ticket purchase to any Melbourne Holocaust Museum exhibition
In remembering the Holocaust, we recognise the resilience and endurance of survivors in their search for security and peace. Between 1933 and 1961 Melbourne’s Jewish population increased by approximately 40% as Jews from across Europe sought refuge far from the horrors they had encountered during the Holocaust. Today, Australia is home to the second largest population of Holocaust survivors per capita outside of Israel, with the largest community in the country centered in Melbourne.
In June 2024 five child survivors of the Holocaust were interviewed by ABC Education for their Journeys of Hope project. Nina Bassat AM, Andre Dubrowin, Peter Gaspar OAM, Charles German and Eve Graham were generous and honest in sharing their memories of survival and resettlement.
Zachor: Ask a Survivor invites you to listen to the journeys of these five individuals and learn how displacement and the search for belonging continue to shape their identities in Australia.
