Melbourne Holocaust Museum

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 was founded without significant public or private funds and thus has always had to rely on support from Holocaust survivors, their relatives, volunteers and philanthropists.

In April 2023, ahead of their anticipated reopening, they also updated their name to the Melbourne Holocaust Museum, with a fresh logo.

The first, titled 'Everybody Had a Name', follows the chronology of the Holocaust, beginning with pre-war Jewish life, and closing with how local survivors rebuilt their lives in Melbourne after the war.

Apart from guided tours through the museum, the MHM offers adult education programs, teacher training and also hosts a range of thought-provoking events which are open to the public.
