About the Centre

Founded in 1984 by survivors, the Jewish Holocaust Museum and Research Centre in Elsternwick is an educational and memorial space. It commemorates Jewish victims of Nazi persecution and educates visitors on discrimination, hatred, and human rights through historical exhibits and survivor records.

Getting There

From central Melbourne, take a Sandringham line train from Flinders Street Station to Elsternwick Station (approx. 15–20 minutes). The venue is a short walk from the station.

Suggested Duration

Plan for 2 to 3 hours to examine the exhibits, archives, and memorial areas.
