The Cape Town Holocaust Centre began as Africa's first Holocaust centre. The facility is one of three centres established by the South African Holocaust and Genocide Foundation. The other two are located in Johannesburg and Durban. It is in the Albow centre in Gardens, central Cape Town, South Africa. They aim to bring to light stories of the survivors and ensure that the atrocities of the Holocaust are not forgotten. The museum boasts a permanent exhibition that combines text, archival photographs, film footage, documents, multimedia displays and recreated environments. They also offer educational programs of many kinds, for groups such as students or educators. The Holocaust is taught within a South African context; lessons on racism and the apartheid are mixed together.
