Abstract:
Describes the activities of the Cape Town Holocaust Centre, which opened in 1999. It has two basic functions: memorializing Holocaust victims through its exhibition and encouraging South Africans to oppose prejudice, racism, xenophobia, and antisemitism. Reactions to the museum and its activities indicate that visitors, especially students, are applying what they learn to problems in their own society, which is just emerging from racism and apartheid. The museum also engages in outreach programs.
