More than ever

MORE EDUCATION THAN EVER

The Museum is more than a memorial – it is a living classroom.

It is where Holocaust survivors, historians and educators inspire the next generation with lessons of resilience, justice and moral courage. State syllabus changes now require Holocaust Studies to be taught to all students in Years 7-10. These changes ensure that all high school students in NSW will have syllabus-related reasons to visit the Museum.

The expanded Museum will be able to attract primary school students to attend our new educational programs, in line with the NSW Syllabus requirements on topics like migration, Jewish culture and tradition.

Our professional development programs help shape Australia’s leaders. These evidence-based workshops drawing on the Jewish experience have had significant impact on workplace issues of antisemitism, inclusion and empathy. Expanding these programs will increase the number of Australian business, civic and government leaders who can participate.

“The prospect of welcoming thousands of primary school students into the museum is very exciting. We will have the chance to expose them to the diverse and dynamic elements of the Jewish experience, and share the resilience of those migrants who came to Australia after World War II. This may just be the very first time most of them meet a Jewish person!”

Ilana McCorquodale, Senior Education Officer and Primary Programs Lead at Sydney Jewish Museum.

“Although I’ve previously learned the history of the Holocaust, it was eye-opening to actually meet a survivor and hear their story. It opened my eyes to how we, as firefighters, play an important role in society, helping people of all cultures and religions, and standing up for what is right.”

M. O’Leary, Fire and Rescue NSW
