Watch Survivors' Stories
Hearing a Holocaust survivor tell their story of survival is a moving experience. Their reflections on resilience, loss and rebuilding their lives can teach us so much about how to navigate the world and our shared humanity.
Explore Digital Stories
Scroll through and engage with countless stories we hold within our museum collection and from past exhibitions.
Take a Virtual Tour
This virtual tour of our past exhibition, Jews from Islamic Lands, will let you trace the lives of Jews living in the Middle East, Asia Minor, North Africa and the Iberian Peninsula from ancient times.
Search the Museum Collection
In our collection, we have more than 15,000 artefacts and over 1,000 oral histories and testimonies. We invite you to explore our collection online.
A powerful new antisemitism resource
We are proud to share a powerful new resource developed by our team of Educators, Historians and Curators. This is an important project aimed at addressing a pressing issue – the rise of hatred against Jewish people in Australia and across the globe.
For this reason, we created an online platform that contains a thorough, research-based exploration of the history of antisemitism, how it manifests in contemporary society, and practical strategies to combat it.
We hope that having this as a resource, you will feel equipped and empowered to notice, question and stand up to hate when you see or hear it.
Visit this resource to see how we are doing more to promote tolerance and understanding, and share it with your friends and family, too.

The Sydney Jewish Museum is dedicated to preserving the history of the Holocaust, sharing the life stories and messages of survivors, and commemorating the victims. By keeping the memory of the Holocaust alive, we ensure that future generations learn from the past.
Our mission is realised through a range of impactful activities: delivering educational programs to students and professionals, preserving invaluable artefacts, presenting compelling exhibitions, and hosting cultural and commemorative events. The work we do and the stories we share inspire respect, inclusivity, empathy, and a commitment to human rights.
Like all museums, we can’t thrive on membership and entry fees alone. We receive no government funding for our operational needs, making community support crucial. Your contributions are vital to ensuring we can continue our important work and uphold the legacy of Holocaust survivors. Please consider supporting us today. Together, we can make a difference.
