About
Our entire collection is based on donations from survivors, locals and people who had something to do with the Holocaust, as well as their descendants.
Our Work
Decades after the end of World War 2, the world is different. We have access to technology, but also fewer and fewer survivors of the Holocaust to share their stories. Technology could be a good thing, but misinformation spreads much faster in such an environment.
Our intense work over the past years included traveling to communities affected by the Nazi regime across Europe, getting in touch with locals and their descendants and finding more than what we can read in history books.
From Israel and Poland to Austria and Romania, our work takes us all over the world.
Our work involved digging and making connections, finding people who had no apparent connection to the Holocaust and collecting personal items you won’t see anywhere else. This isn’t just an educational place about the horrors of the Holocaust, but a place that holds personal value to anyone affected by the drama.
Our idea is to communicate the memory of the Holocaust through the victims’ stories. Every item in our collection is a personal item that holds deep value. That’s why the Holocaust Museum of Corfu is a personal museum that tells stories and mixes them into facts.
Our Goal
Our goal is to keep the memory of Corfu’s victims alive, but also the memory of those who perished in the Holocaust. We aim to promote critical thinking in both locals and tourists, only to help people question misinformation, conspiracies and stereotypes that boost today’s racist hate.
The concept is to develop a counterculture based on facts.
The Holocaust Museum of Corfu isn’t related to what happened on the island only, but also to the atrocities committed by a hate fuelled regime across the world.
We know there are countless untold stories out there, but we also know it takes work and research to get them out. That’s why our collection keeps growing as we reveal more and more information.
