Resource Centre and Archive
Use our Resource Centre
Our growing Resource Centre is home to an extensive collection of books, journals, DVDS, testimonies and other publications related to the Holocaust, the 1994 genocide in Rwanda and similar topics. Since 2021, our volunteer and member lending library has been open thanks to the support of the public and the hard work of volunteers. We gratefully welcome donations of relevant books and other items to add to our collection. Please note that our focus is primarily related to 20th century genocide and related themes such as human rights.
Guests are welcome to use our computers, guest WiFi and other facilities onsite for research purposes.

The JHGC Archive
The JHGC archive was formally established in 2020, with thanks to generous funding from the Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung. We collect tangible and intangible objects that relate to Holocaust and Genocide. Thanks to new donations of family collections, unique individual items, and testimonies, our archive continues to grow. We gratefully welcome donations of any objects or stories relating to the Holocaust, or any other genocides, especially those with connections to South Africa.
The JHGC archives and catalogues the objects in our collection, with the assistance of volunteers. Many of our artefacts are constantly added to the digital platform and can be seen on e-Hive, including many of those on display in our permanent exhibition.
Please contact Jordan Saltzman on jordan@jhbholocaust.co.za regarding donations to the archive and further information about our archive projects. Please note that we only accept objects and testimonies related to the Holocaust and genocide.
