Melbourne Holocaust Museum

About

The Melbourne Holocaust Museum (MHM) (formerly known as the Jewish Holocaust Centre) is an Australian institution dedicated to Holocaust education, research, and remembrance, based in Melbourne. It was founded in Elsternwick, Melbourne, in 1984 by Holocaust survivors. Its mission is to commemorate the six million Jews murdered by the Nazis between 1933 and 1945, and amplify the voices of Holocaust survivors, to inspire a better future free from antisemitism, racism and prejudice. The museum focuses on educating younger generations against hate, with tens of thousands of students visiting the museum every year to participate in MHM's age-appropriate education programs.
