Johannesburg Holocaust and Genocide Centre

The JHGC, in partnership with the City of Johannesburg, opened into its iconic new building and permanent exhibition of memory, education and lessons for humanity in 2019.
Vision and Mission
The JHGC seeks to raise awareness of the evils of genocide with a particular focus on the Holocaust and the 1994 genocide in Rwanda; to serve as a memorial to the six million Jews who were killed in the Holocaust, all victims of Nazi Germany and the estimated 800,000 Tutsi victims of the Genocide in Rwanda; and to teach about the consequences of prejudice, racism, antisemitism, homophobia and xenophobia and the dangers of indifference, apathy, and silence to freedom and democracy. The JHGC is a not-for-profit educational institution and our expenses are covered through donations and partnerships with individuals, foundations, corporations, embassies and national and international government and non-government organisations.
