The Museum's History
The roots of the Toronto Holocaust Museum, formerly known as the Sarah and Chaim Neuberger Holocaust Education Centre, began with its founding by a group of survivors in 1985. Inspired by this legacy, the Museum today invites visitors to follow the journey of local survivors—including their post-war contributions to Canadian society—through immersive technology.
