Funded Activity Summary

Australian Holocaust Memory, Human Rights and the Contemporary Museum. This project aims to explore and extend scholarly understandings of the public impact of Holocaust history and memory in the Australian context. As the ‘generation of witness’ comes to its natural end, the project intends to investigate new ways to harness this memory and link it to influential national and international debates pertaining to Holocaust and Human Rights museums. In partnership with the Sydney Jewish Museum (SJM), the project aims to critically evaluate and realign the SJM’s rich repository of material culture as it relates to these overarching themes. This research intends to result in scholarly publications and establish the conceptual foundations for a Human Rights and the Holocaust Centre.
