Professional Teachers' Association of the Northern Territory - PTANT

The Darwin Holocaust Memorial & Education Centre is now open at the Darwin Military Museum! This permanent exhibition, focused on the Holocaust and other genocides throughout history, offers a powerful educational resource for our community. The NT Jewish Community Association is happy to support school visits to the exhibition and provide a guide from the community to join school groups, enrich the experience with personal stories and help explore themes of Holocaust remembrance and anti-Semitism as a form of racism. If your school is interested in exploring this opportunity further, please reach out to the NT Jewish Community Association through their website [https://www.ntjca.com.au/]. A virtual tour of the exhibition can be found here - https://www.darwinmilitarymuseum.au/darwin-holocaust-memorial-education-centre/.
