Every week young students from NSW visit Sydney Jewish Museum. Bringing students face-to-face with history and culture, expanding their content knowledge and connecting them more deeply to their study topics is vital work.

Panel Discussion
Ignorance is the enemy. Education is the answer.
It has long been accepted that educating about the Holocaust is perhaps the strongest tool for combatting antisemitism. Particularly given that in 2021 1 in 4 Australians over 18 admitted to little or no knowledge of the Holocaust. * Gandel Survey 2021
Sydney Jewish Museum has been at the forefront of Holocaust education since its opening in 1992. Over the past 30 years, 650,000 visitors have walked through the doors. Importantly 300,000 of these have been students. Over 90% of these young people are not Jewish. So what difference does it make? Our panel will discuss the power of education to change misconceptions and non-truths.
