The Cape Town Holocaust & Genocide Centre began as Africa's first Holocaust centre founded in 1999.[1] It has sister Centres in Johannesburg (Johannesburg Holocaust and Genocide Centre) and Durban (Durban Holocaust Centre), and together they form part of the association, the South African Holocaust & Genocide Foundation (SAHGF).[2] The SAHGF determines the educational and philosophical direction of the centre.[3] It also conducts teacher training and is the only accredited service-provider for in-service training in Holocaust education in the country. It has trained over 5,000 teachers.[4]
The museum is situated in the downtown neighbourhood of Gardens in Cape Town. It is located in the grounds of Gardens Shul, and is in the same complex as the South African Jewish Museum and the Gardens Jewish Community Centre. It is also close to the Iziko South African National Gallery and Houses of Parliament.[5] The centre works towards creating a more caring and just society in which human rights and diversity are respected and valued.[6] Through exhibitions, events and workshops, they endeavour to commemorate the victims and survivors of the Nazi regime and the numerous genocides that happened before and since the Holocaust.[7]
The museum has a permanent exhibition that combines text, archival photographs, film footage, documents, multimedia displays and recreated environments.[8] They also offer educational programmes of various types, for groups such as students or educators. The Holocaust is taught within a South African context; lessons on racism and apartheid are mixed together.
