Facilities

  • The Holocaust Exhibition and Memorial Museum
    The Museum is at the heart of The Holocaust Centre. It reminds visitors that knowing what happened during the Holocaust is the first step towards preventing it happening again. The exhibit covers Jewish life in Europe before the war; the rise of National Socialism; ghettos; resistance; concentration and death camps; survival and post-war justice; and rescuers.
  • The Journey Exhibtion
    ‘The Journey’ follows a fictional Jewish child, Leo Stein.  Visitors will walk through Leo’s home, school and street. They will visit his father’s shop, the ‘hiding’ space under the stairs and the carriage that takes him on his Journey to eventual safety in England. Visitors will also hear the stories of many children who survived Nazi persecution.‘The Journey’ is the first Holocaust exhibition in the UK created for younger children.
  • The Memorial Gardens:
    Outside the Centre’s main building, there is over an acre of beautifully landscaped memorial gardens which provide an important counterpoint to the historical museum.The gardens provide space for reflection and places for individuals to remember their families. They allow visitors to sit in the midst of a living, growing world and absorb the demanding challenge that the Centre presents.
  • Bookshop and Coffee Shop:
    Unwind and reflect on your journey through the Centre over cake and coffee in our newly designed coffee shop. If you want to continue to learn about the Holocaust and other 20th Century genocides after your visit, make sure you check out our bookshop before you leave.

Of the Berlin street: “At this point, I felt things really clicked into place and the children began to understand day-to-day life for Jews.”  The carriage was engaging and poignant; children really got to see what happened in reality, but in a sensitive way.”  “The home was atmospheric and children got a real feel for life in Germany in the 1930s.”
