Very interesting.
We had a lady take us and explain a lot about the meanings of the walls and the displays in the entrance.
So much information, difficult to take it all in.
We will have to return again to go through it again.

Two story museum that covers a significant level of detail on the Holocaust and Rwandan genocide. We wish there was more space and time allocated to the Rwandan genocide though as it felt quite a bit rushed/generalized. Regardless, definitely a requirement on any proper itinerary of sight-seeing in Johannesburg.
There is secured underground parking and the total time required is 3-4 hours if you want to read everything. Note that on the top floor there is a rotating temporary exhibit (the one currently is on a concentration camp in Austria/near the Polish border).

The Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre provides comprehensive education programmes for Grade 8-12 learners across Gauteng and neighbouring provinces, enhancing their study of Holocaust history as mandated by the National Curriculum. All programme topics relate to human rights awareness and draw on lessons from the Holocaust and the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, which specifically address the Grade 9 Social Science, as well as Grade 11 History curricula and promote cross-curricular teaching opportunities more generally.

Modern, interactive and educational. We were fortunate to join up with a group guided tour and had the unexpected privilege to listen to Mr Krausz, a Holocaust survivor, speak at the centre.

I’ve visited a lot of Holocaust museums around the world, it’s an important part of my identity. The lovely new building in a suburb of Johannesburg was one of the better ones, in my view. I was particularly impressed by the blend of analysis about how it happened with the stories of individual survivors. A particularly interesting section focused on what drives collaborators, passive bystanders, and resisters.
The second part of the museum gives a similarly impressive but somewhat shorter presentation of the Rwandan genocide.
The special exhibition on the Nazi extermination of 400,000 disabled and mentally handicapped Germans was very moving as well.

Well appointed architecture that the hosts will explain.
Focus on the Rwandan and WW2 genocides. Links very well back to the southern african context.
The walk through and interactive museum portion could take you an additional hour to work through.

This museum focusses on two major genocide events in the 20th century. Firstly the Jewish Holocaust and genocide in Europe perpetrated by the Nazi regime. And secondly the Rwandan genocide in central Africa towards the end of the century. Both are appropriately displayed and both are quite emotional. In particular, the Rwandan display is particularly apt as this happened in Africa. These displays should be a reminder to everyone about man's inhumanity to man (In a non gender specific way). Well worth a visit, but set aside at least three hours (Preferably more),

With some time to kill between appointments I decided to visit this almost unnoticeable site on Jan Smuts Avenue in Johannesburg. This was one of the most rewarding 45min I have ever spent in a memorial/museum!
The memorial provides an interactive multi media journey through four genocides which happened in the 20th century: The Kaiser's slaughter of the Nama and Herero speaking people in Namibia, the Turkish slaughter of the Armenians and then the Holocaust of mostly Jews by the Nazi and the Rwanda civil war and slaughter of mostly Tutsis.
These events are covered comprehensively and without any trivialisation of the horror or cruelty. It's brutal and yet most informative and unusual, a platform to compare and discuss.
The guide was well groomed and most knowledgable.
So spend half a day in somber reflection contemplating human cruelty.

Looking for something different to do in Joburg I discovered this centre. I didn’t realize there were already similar Holocaust memorials in Cape Town and Durban. A lot of work went in to creating this center which contains many personal stories and items of holocaust survivors who resettled in Johannesburg. Also a moving and compelling history of the Rwanda genocide is in the center. It’s a powerful learning experience for anybody.

One of the wonderful volunteers took the time to guide me through this great museum and explain the unique features of the architecture devised by listening to the wishes of the survivors. The visit is extremely moving. Since the museum aims to be educational there is no required entrance fee. Voluntary contributions are gladly accepted. Visiting this museum should be a must for everybody interested in human history and its aberrations.
