Adelaide Holocaust Museum and Andrew Steiner Education Centre

The Adelaide Holocaust Museum and Andrew Steiner Education Centre (AHMSEC) is a museum housed in the historic Fennescey House at 33 Wakefield Street, in Adelaide city centre, just east of Victoria Square/Tarndanyangga.

Fennescey House belongs to the Catholic Church, and is located on the grounds of St Francis Xavier's Cathedral. The education centre is named after Andrew Steiner OAM, an Adelaide Holocaust survivor and sculptor who had been providing education about the Holocaust to school students for the previous 30 years. He had driven the project, which was largely funded with donations from Gandel Philanthropy. Students of architecture from the University of South Australia were involved in the design of the museum, and the project team for its creation worked closely with the Jewish Holocaust Centre in Melbourne. One of Steiner's sculptures, a figure of Polish teacher hero of the Holocaust Janusz Korczak, is a centrepiece of the museum.

The aim of the museum and its education program is to educate people, especially young people, about the history of the Holocaust, to "critically reflect on its themes and their relevance in contemporary society", and to combat antisemitism and racism.

The museum was officially launched on 9 November 2020, the date significantly chosen to commemorate Kristallnacht, when in 1938 German Nazis burnt down synagogues, vandalised homes, schools and businesses belonging to Jews, and killed nearly 100 people, marking the start of the Holocaust. The museum opened its doors to the public a week later, on 17 November 2020.

The museum comprises four galleries:

Shortly before its opening, the federal government announced A$2.5 million of funding for further development of the museum.

The museum is temporarily closed for ongoing renovations, which are expected to be completed by spring 2025. A reopening date has not yet been set, as the museum team is currently recurating the newly renovated space.

After a group of neo-Nazis had posted photographs of themselves giving fascist salutes outside the museum premises on social media, Minister for Multicultural Affairs Zoe Bettison said that there would be a Parliamentary inquiry into "neo-Nazi symbols, the activities of extremist groups, discrimination faced by targeted groups and the prohibition on symbols in other states".
