Sydney Jewish Museum

Located in the suburb of Darlinghurst in Sydney, Sydney Jewish Museum is a beautiful and culturally curated museum that revolves around the history and culture of Jewish people in Australia after World War II and the Holocaust. The museum features moving objects, sobering personal testimonies, and the memorials of over 1.5 million child victims. It is designed in such a way that you will move through a journey of the Jewish experience during the Holocaust.

The first thing you will see in Sydney Jewish Museum after passing through the unassuming hefty doors is a war memorial with stained glass windows. Moving further, you will come across a staircase that will lead you to the first level of the museum, where a massive Star of David constructed from Jerusalem stone has been laid out into the floor. The four mezzanine lives that stand above it are symbolic of the faith and identity of Jewish people.

A sequence of names can be found on the crisp white surfaces of the museum, some of which are names of Holocaust victims, while some are of Holocaust survivors who created the museum. Through all these exhibits, the Sydney Jewish Museum aims to make history accessible to the public through the lens of Jewish experiences that can help them to understand the present.
