The Holocaust Centre promotes an understanding of the roots of discrimination and prejudice, and the development of ethical values, leading to a greater understanding within society. The Centre uses the history of genocide as a model of how society can break down, and emphasises how current and future generations must carefully examine and learn from these tragedies. The Centre promotes respect for human rights, equal opportunities and good citizenship, which has greater resonance than ever in our culturally diverse society.
The Holocaust Centre provides a range of facilities for people of all backgrounds to explore the history and implications of the Holocaust. These include the Holocaust exhibition, The Journey, memorial gardens, bookshop and coffeeshop. There are also seminar and research facilities for students, teachers, scholars, professionals and many others.

"I was really moved by my visit to the Holocaust Centre, not only shocked by what I heard and saw. Listening to Rudi, the survivor, made me realise that the people that suffered in the Holocaust were not just statistics, but real people with families and friends."
Laura Lomas, student
"It has most definitely changed my values in life. Things I used to consider a problem, I no longer fuss about. It upsets me to see the same sort of thing happening in our world today, because this shows that history has taught us nothing. Life is too short to hate."
