Mission: The Sydney Jewish Museum was founded in 1992 by the generation of Holocaust survivors who made new lives in Sydney after the war. Within our walls, they created a place to share their memories, commemorate the six million Jewish people who were murdered and provide important messages to future generations. Today, it is a living museum where Jewish cultural life and heritage in Sydney are illuminated and preserved, where memories are honoured and history is researched. It’s a place that gives voice to the victims of the Holocaust, where survivors still visit to share their stories with people from all walks of life, so they can start conversations and inspire change within modern Australia.

Director/Person-in-Charge: Julia White, Associate Professor and Coordinator, Atrocity Studies minor and the Spector/Warren Fellowship

Mission: The Atrocity Studies minor provides an interdisciplinary understanding of the Holocaust; the foundation of international law treaties that define genocide; crimes against humanity; issues of social justice and human rights violations; and efforts to confront the past and transform the future. The minor addresses a central tenet of education: What does it mean to be a responsible citizen in a democratic society? Students gain tools to both disrupt discrimination, prejudice, and dehumanization and to promote ethical responsibilities toward others. Courses and partnerships from across the College of Arts & Sciences and the University prepare students to analyze contemporary political situations and to confront and act upon the complexities inherent in atrocities and human and civil rights violations.
