Support our mission
History does not safeguard itself. At a time when antisemitism and racial intolerance are rising in New Zealand, the work of the Holocaust Centre has never been more urgent.
Every dollar you contribute is directly translated into action – equipping young New Zealanders with the critical thinking, empathy, and moral courage required to stand up against prejudice in their own communities.
Your investment ensures that the voices of Holocaust survivors continue to be heard, that historical truth is defended, and that "Never Again" remains a concrete promise rather than a hollow phrase.
True change requires sustained energy. By choosing a recurring monthly gift, you become a part of a dedicated group of New Zealanders securing the long-term future of Holocaust education in our country.
Consistent monthly funding allows us to plan ahead, expand our regional outreach, and respond dynamically to discrimination wherever it emerges.

Impact of Holocaust education
“Visiting the Holocaust Centre was undoubtedly the most impactful way I could have learned about the lives of Jewish people before the Holocaust, and the atrocities committed against them during and after it. Before seeing the informative displays and talking to the fabulous educators at the Centre, I don't think that it would have been possible for me to understand the sheer scale and the reality of what happened - and how important it is now to never let it happen again. With the constant rise of racism and antisemitism in the world today, I believe that it is absolutely vital for people to learn about what ignorance and hatred can lead to, and the catastrophic effects of these things on innocent lives.”
– Year 13 Student, Nga Tawa Diocesan
“Visiting the Holocaust Centre of New Zealand was a profoundly impactful experience. The Resistance, Rebellion, and Righteousness programme provided authentic perspectives that encouraged students to question assumptions and think critically. It was highly informative, thought-provoking, and a truly valuable learning opportunity for our group”.
– Teacher, Whangarei Girls High School
