The Irish Jewish Museum is committed to fostering a greater understanding of the Holocaust through our events, exhibitions, and school presentations.<\/p>

While teaching about the Holocaust, issues such as diversity, genocide and human rights are discussed with the purpose of increasing awareness and tolerance in society. As antisemitism, Holocaust denial and distortion are on the increase today, it is vitally important to address these issues with the public.<\/p>

There is a special emphasis given to the experience of the Holocaust from an Irish perspective with reference to our collection. The exhibit of the burned Torah scroll saved from a Synagogue in France and brought to Ireland is highly evocative as is the Nazi dagger engraved by a survivor with a Magen David for his Irish rescuer.<\/p>

For many people who come to the museum from around the world, the visit is an opportunity to reflect upon the Holocaust in a unique way.<\/p>

For younger students, we are fortunate to have two books set in Ireland and written by local author Marilyn Taylor which introduce the subject through literature. Teachers will enjoy reading 17 Martin St. and\u00a0Far Away Home\u00a0before bringing their students to the museum.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
