Our Mission is to:

*Teach and encourage people to take individual responsibility for opposing prejudice in all of its forms
*Guard against attempts to make any group a target of mass prejudice
*Encourage respect for diversity.
We will achieve our mission through:
*Recording, collecting, and sharing of survivor testimonies
*Archiving of survivor artefacts
*Research, teaching, and publishing
*Fostering national and international partnerships
*Promoting human rights education as the cornerstone of a liberal, democratic, and inclusive society.

School groups are welcome at the Holocaust Centre of New Zealand.
Our education programmes offer student engagement with Holocaust survivors who came to New Zealand, as well as resources to help teachers understand how they can facilitate their students' learning about the Holocaust.
The Centre promotes the teaching of the Holocaust through a variety of resources and programmes to help the teachers increase their knowledge of Holocaust history and implement effective learning.
Teachers can book visits to the Holocaust Centre of New Zealand via the School Group online booking form on our website.

The Holocaust Centre of New Zealand is located within the Wellington Jewish Community Centre.
We are open Sunday - Friday 10am - 1pm, and outside these hours by special arrangement.
Entry is free but donations/koha are appreciated, as we are a non government funded, not for profit charity, that relies on fundraising, donations and our 'Friends of the Centre' membership fees.
