The Holocaust took place in Europe, but its ripples reached the furthest corners of the globe. For many who survived the ghettos, the camps, and the years of hiding, New Zealand became more than just a place of safety; it became home.

This section explores the enduring connection between the Holocaust and New Zealand. Here, you will find the voices of survivors who rebuilt their lives in our communities, a timeline of how New Zealand responded to the crisis as it unfolded, and the ongoing work of their descendants to keep these stories alive. By engaging with these local histories, students and teachers can bridge the gap between a global tragedy and our own national heritage.
