The Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Centre

The Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Centre intends to prepare guided tours on a scientific basis that are better tailored to each target group, to extend what is already on offer with further programs such as seminars and knowledge archives and to thematize – besides Judaism and the Holocaust – tolerance and interconnection between people. A permanent exhibition shall serve as the basis for the centre and as a basis for the guided tours. As both the prayer room and the congregation room cannot be compromised, the Holocaust part of the exhibition must be concealable. The exhibition is comprised of the following elements: the Holocaust, the Jewish history of Europe and Graz/Styria, Israel and diaspora, Judaism/community life, the calendar and high holidays, ritual objects, the rabbis of Graz, intercultural and transcultural communication and tolerance and the design of a park with memorials to the victims and the Righteous.
