Holocaust Centre of New Zealand

“Great and sad place to visit. STOP GENOCIDE PLANET WIDE.”

“No more wars.”

“I believe that every child - and every adult who chooses to broaden their understanding of how ingrained prejudice influences even our seemingly most innocuous decisions - needs to visit the Holocaust Centre, as part of a wider programme of study focused on the necessity of tolerance. The Holocaust Centre is a place of reverence where millions of innocent people, whose voices have never been heard, are remembered in the greatest hope that their fate is clearly understood to be the logical outcome of unbridled state-sanctioned human intolerance of any kind. The Holocaust Centre is much more than a place of deep significance to Jewish people; It is symbolic of the much wider psychological disease of human prejudice; It speaks in monumental terms of cause and effect. As a library, it is a repository of educational material, in the form of personal testimony from survivors - and academic study - of the shoah. There is much to be learned here about human prejudice and resilience.”
