The Holocaust & Genocide Centre in Cape Town is uniquely housed in a complex that also features a kosher restaurant, a Jewish library, the museum of the South African Jewish experience & the oldest synagogue in Cape Town.

Absolutely worth the visit…!

Recently visited the Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre.

I really enjoyed the focus on pre-war Jewish life, including sports, music, & other cultural activities, as well as the exhibition’s effort to explain Judaism & Jewish customs through ritual objects.

Really enjoyed the fantastic discussion w/ EmilyRose Baker, Tony Kushner, & Janek Gryta, moderated by @charlieknight.bsky.social

Heard an insightful and engaging lecture about memory politics and restitution in Germany from @mrothberg.bsky.social at the V&A this week. If you haven’t read his work on #ImplicatedSubjects yet, I cannot recommend it enough!
