About us

The Holocaust Centre of New Zealand is the national centre for Holocaust education, remembrance, and testimony. Established by survivors, refugees, and their descendants, our work bridges history with the present day, inspiring New Zealanders to stand against prejudice, discrimination, and apathy.

We invite you to explore our origins, leadership teams, and the resources that support our education and remembrance initiatives. In the sections below, you’ll also find links to our online shop, and how to contact us.
