[title]The Melbourne Holocaust Museum (MHM) reopened in November 2023 with brand new exhibitions. One of those exhibitions is the award-winning Hidden: Seven Children Saved – an interactive experience for ages ten plus, focusing on the lives of seven children who survived the Holocaust in hiding.
The exhibition keeps the child’s perspective in mind using moving images, soundscapes, dioramas and projections to convey the experiences of the featured children. Although it was designed with younger audiences in mind, Hidden provides a memorable experience for all ages, offering an opportunity to engage with authentic human stories of bravery, resilience, and the kindness of others that led to the survival of these seven children.
The exhibition has been designed in a way to educate children about the Holocaust and build an understanding of the importance of choices and how they impact the world around us. By learning about the Holocaust through the lens of one of seven child survivors, visitors come away feeling inspired by the power of their individual actions.
The Melbourne Holocaust Museum’s Everybody had a Name exhibition and survivor testimony VR experience are also open to the public and focus on the personal experiences of Melbourne-based Holocaust survivors.
These exhibitions are ongoing, and admission starts from $10. For more information and to purchase tickets, head to the Melbourne Holocaust Museum website.
