What to see

You will be able to explore and experience the following when you visit. Ensure that you check a survivor talk is on, if that is what you would like to experience the day you visit. Keep your ticket safe, as it will grant you as many free visits as you want for a year from the issue date.

Plan a good four hours for your visit

Memorial gardens

Explore an acre of beautifully landscaped  memorial gardens with sculptures, over 1,000 commemorative roses and a picturesque pond and surroundings. It’s the perfect location for reflection.

Survivor talks

If you’re visiting in the week, please call us in advance on 01623 836627, so that we can advise you of any speakers you may be able to join. If you’re visiting on a Sunday, you can book to listen to a survivor talk in   advance.

Holocaust exhibition

Explore our Holocaust exhibition documenting the history of antisemitism, the rise of Hitler, the aftermath of the November Pogrom and the Final Solution. (We would advise that the exhibition is for 14+, but this is at parents’ discretion.)

Specialist library

Academics, students and the general public can explore our 5,000 items in collection including books, journals, unpublished memoirs and audio-visual resources all documenting the Holocaust. Email us at least two weeks in advance if you would like to access the library. We cannot loan books out yet, but you can use them in the library onsite for your research.

Book shop

Our book shop sells specialist publications about the Holocaust and other genocides. You will also discover special publications containing the testimonies of survivors who work with the Centre. Two such publications are Journeys and Survival. You can pre-order gift shop items or books before your visit. All proceeds go directly to the charity.

Coffee shop

Opening out on to the picturesque memorial gardens, our coffee shop provides the perfect place to relax and reflect on your visit. You can purchase snacks, cakes, confectionery and light lunches in the form of soup and sandwiches. We also provide a selection of hot beverages. We endeavour to provide gluten and dairy free alternatives and vegetarian options, but our food is not kosher.
