Discover survivor stories at the Museum this summer

This summer, you can come face-to-face with moving stories from Holocaust survivors.

When it comes to learning about history, nothing quite compares to hearing from those who were there to experience it. This is why meeting a Holocaust survivor has always has been one of the most meaningful experiences offered by the Sydney Jewish Museum.

If you can’t attend one of our ticketed events with our Holocaust survivors, there are several ways to engage with history through technology at the Museum: you can explore the Holocaust exhibition using a GPS-based testimony app, or even have a conversation with a digital Holocaust survivor via a new lifelike interactive technology.

Join a conversation with a Holocaust survivor

We’ll be holding talks with Holocaust survivors every Wednesday in January at 12pm. Each session will be with a different survivor and will provide an opportunity to hear diverse, moving stories from our survivor community in Sydney.

Meet a digital Holocaust survivor

Our AI-powered Holocaust survivor exhibition, Reverberations, has been extended to March 2024!

In this exhibition, you can experience survivors’ stories of humanity, strength and heart. You can also immerse yourself in conversation with three digital Holocaust survivors, which use cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology to respond directly to any question you ask them.
