Sydney Jewish Museum

Unclaimed

It is truly an eye opening and emotion experience to see this dark part of history come to life through the the testimony of survivors, the photographs, artefacts and journal entries. The staff are passionate, knowledgeable and created an engaging tour for our group that shared a balance of shock and confrontation, whilst also sharing the resilience and courage of many Jewish people.

Excellent museum with a large range of exhibits, and the staff which some are Holocaust survivors were very helpful. A lot of students on excursions. Very moving stories and a in depth historical journey of the events of the Holocaust and experiences of the Jewish people. If you’re interested in WW2, this museum is a must see.

The best Museum, at least the one I spend the most time reading, in Australia. It costs 15 AUD per person. You need to talk to the gate to get in. At first, I thought it’s a private place but it’s not. Just ask the guard to let you in and go though bag check. It has lots of history regarding Jew history including the holocaust. They also provide free tour. Strongly recommended.

Sydney Jewish Museum is located in Darlinghurst near the CBD. Very few museums will hit you the way this way this museum hits you. A very informative museum about Jewish history, culture and about the holocaust. Holocaust was one of the darkest times for humanity and education about it is important to ensure such events never ever happen again. They had a new exhibition called “Reverberations” which uses artificial intelligence which has pre-recorded interviews of holocaust survivors to preserve their memories and is worth checking out. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Sydney.

Amazing insight into Jewry both in Australia (with its surprisingly long history) and the rest of the world highlighting the difficulties faced and in many cases overcome. We didn't give ourselves enough time to see all we wanted so you need at least 2 hours to make a solid dent. There were also a few missing displays but the docents were lovely.
